Thought I would start this thread as a search did not turn up a lot and it must be a hot topic people are interested in. Coolant Capacity - 3.6 Lt Two questions. 1. What was the original formula for Aussie minis? 2. What are people using now ? |

Castrol Anti-Freeze Anti-Boil It has all three I am looking for in a coolant, anit-freeze, anti boil and corrosion inhibitors. And there's a big rule about mixing coolant brands, so when I walk in to buy my coolant after two years, I helps me to know its a single well known brand. http://www.are.com.au/feat/techtalk/coolants.htm http://www.are.com.au/feat/techtalk/horror_pictures.htm |

I use any current ehhylene glycol type concentrate, about 25 :75 but are there 'track rules' which stipulate using a non slippery type.. i have heard it mentioned to use non glycol if going to the track. one example is http://www.penriteoil.com.au/products.php?id_categ=6&id_products=98 i think it used to be called syn 10??? |

I've been using the Penrite 10 tenths coolant additive for many years in various competition cars (including alloy and cast iron engines). It has a red colour rather than the glycol green and seems to do the job of corrosion inhibitor and coolant wetting agent very well. |

I have done many electrolysis tests on various Coolant additives. The Toyota Long life (Red) is by far the best and the only one I would use. Perhaps not the cheapest but you get what you pay for. |
