Coolant change

Post by onnzo »

Hey Guys,
I'm overdue for a coolant change and was looking around the uk site for info.

They noted that you need to use a non silicate coolant. I went to repco and of the brands they sold, all of them used silicates.

Does anyone know of anyone in oz that sells low/no silicate coolant?

Did you have any luck with this? (I need to do this soon as well)

After reading some of the threads on the UK site.

It looks like you could you a genuin Nissan coolant to do this. (But may bit a bit more expensive)

I normally get the stuff from a lawn mower place around the corner from me. It is bright red and one of the best I have been told. I will look into what brand it is and get back to you.

Lawn mower place? :)

Can you check if it contains silicates?

Thanks
