[QUOTE="netmatrix, post: 285024, member: 217"] Prestone coolant you can buy at EON service center. If you have local auto magazines, you can see its being sold by EON. Although i have seen it in ACE hardware in Mid valley. But quite expensive for 2 litre product. Else you could buy Perodua(Denso) or Toyota long life coolant from any spare parts shop. I'm using Toyota ones for RM19 per 1 litre bottle from any spare parts shop. If you run just plain water, it makes sense that it is able to dissipate heat faster. But it does not prevent the water from boiling. Boiling means bubling. Even from inside the radiator. Not good for heat disipation if there are air pockets in the water ways right? Coolant raises water boiling temp. Meaning water only boils above lets say 130C and not 100C. So cooling it still optimum even after 100C. If you could use distilled water with coolant, its the best. Else just run home filtered water with coolant. Works just as good if not better. About the white coolant. I don't have any idea. But generally mechanincs use any type that is recommended by salesman. They buy a dozen or more and use it. From my experience they never use the same brand unless they are authorized service centers for a particular make. [/QUOTE]
