For this reason we stop from using it and use clear rain water or distilled water with some amount of rust converter (around 100ml to 150ml Island brand) to prevent rust - good for head gasket and steel metal parts water passage. The rust converter also requires proper handling but not as dangerous as the coolant mix.
The purpose of the engine coolant mix (actually distilled water with some glycol with corrosion inhibitor) is for heat transfer, preventing engine overheating. With water mixed with glycol in a closed system, water boiling point is increased and freezing point is also lowered further. Unfortunately, most coolant formula does not really protect the parts from rust and we all know with the presence of water, it is easy for parts with iron content to rust. It is for this reason you still see blown head gaskets because of rusting head gasket even one uses engine coolant all the time. With rust converter and distilled water or rain water, this problem is prevented with an added bonus of better heat dissipation since rust converter that is phosphoric acid is an electrolyte, making water conductivity far better than having a coolant mix. For as long as you top off your radiator with only clean rain water or distilled water, it will remain clean for several years of use. Never use water from MCWD or mineral water or water from deep well. Minerals will separate when heated and overtime will form sediments that will clog the water passage - resulting to inefficient cooling system, dali mag overheat.
Adto gyud na ibutang ug una sa radiator ang water, then sa overflow reservoir sa saktong level. Some cooling system will not allow you to access the radiator but only through the plastic reservoir so didto ra ka pwede makabutang at specified level. Only do this when engine is not hot for safety.
Engine oil should be checked from time to time and be replaced when no longer serviceable. Naa na sa car manual ang guide when to change engine fluids ug kahibalo pud na ang mekaniko nga maoy nag maintain sa imong sakyanan when to change oil for a particular engine. Usually every 5000km ang recommended change oil interval for most cars or mas mubo pa ana kung bun-og kaayo ang pagkagamit. This range is for commonly found engine oil sa market nga di pud synthetic kay lahi pud ang range sa synthetic engine oil, mas taas gamay pero mas mahal pud.
Mas maayo naa kay suki nga shop nga makamao mo atiman, that way ma atiman ug maayo imong sakynanan. It is not necessary nga sa casa gyud ka, unless di ka sayangan sa imong kwarta - casa service is the best place to burn your money. Casa or not, pareho ra na naay mekaniko but mostly ang mga maayong mekaniko wala na sa kasa kay naa nay ilang kaugalingong shop. Kung experience ang hisgotan, naa sa outside sa casa ang mga maayong mekaniko nga taas na ug experience - meaning mas makamao mo diagnose.
Search lang sa istorya.net unsay maayong shop nga pwede ma adtoan nimo for your change oil service ug uban pa nga check-up services sa imong sakyanan. This is a must nga mobasa or magsurvey ka sa reviews about sa shop aron di ka maadto sa di maayong experience nga nahiagoman sa uban.
I suggest mangutana pud ka sa mga basic nga bantayan nimo ug unsay angay buhaton inig magkita mo sa mekaniko. That way makamao na pud ka.
