RE: Blue vs. Yellow Coolant
 

9,0 liters for 104 engine. (uberwgn)

11.0 liters for 119 engine (GOMES). also every 3 years.

yellow or blue... it doesn't matter.

the blue color got a dye which turns into crystalline powder when in contact with open air and dried. this is only to aide on finding the leak.

sleepwalker, you're the best. Thanks for your help!!

Thanks. Carry on with the good job well done (~.~)

RE: Blue vs. Yellow Coolant
 

OK, I probably should not ask this question but I will:

[flamesuit] Should I use tap water* or should I use distilled water to blend with my fresh blue coolant?[/flamesuit]



Thanks.


*we're on city water, it's good quality and is not severely loaded with minerals.

RE: Blue vs. Yellow Coolant
 

Tap water is fine in the radiator. Use distilled water in your battery, if it's not maintenance-free.

RE: Blue vs. Yellow Coolant
 

OK, thanks, Lugnut.


Just got back from the dealer and he says there's no blue coolant, it's factory fill only. So, I just grabbed a couple of gallons of the yellow and headed out the door.
