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.

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.

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

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.
