I'm well over 30K mile on my MSP and for the last 2 weeks the coolant level at coolant can is at MIN. I guess I better do a coolant flush and put new one in.
The thing is the Owner's manual has three types of mixture :
1- 35% antifreeze solution + 65% water above 3 F*
2- 45% antifreeze solution + 55% water above -15 F*
3- 55% antifreeze solution + 45% water above -40 F*
In north jersey i haven't encountered temps as low as -40 so i'd say the 2nd mixture will do but ............. :
in auto part stores you find mostly 50/50 ones which you can mix w/ whatever is used in the system of the car.
The stock coolant is green and don't want to mix it w/ different color.
But to find a green one is a bit tricky as the bottles the coolant comes you can't see through.
Any one can help me w/ this one so i don't do something stupid.
thnx in adv.
