  1. Ah! And when putting new coolant in, you must detach the expansion tank and lift it higher. Got to unscrew the air box so the hoses can be lifted up that are connected to the expansion tank and run engine, let the coolant cycle for at leist 3 or 4 times with the cap and breather valve screw off. I don't recommend putting any sort of quick fix rad seal or such, as it can also block your heater matrix.

  2. Just giving an extreme example with my Husqvarna 610 the differences on coolant qualities but as said if temp rises, it should be indicated on temp gauge anyway. But leaks can be hard to see. I had a leak on my Gen7 but no coolant on the floor. Found it down the bottom corner of the rad slowly weeping.

  3. Halfrauds coolant are rubbish. They have a low boiling point. On my Husky it kept boiling at 120c but then got a more expensive coolant with a higher boiling point everything was then better. Toyota coolant is premixed to the right level so boiling point is optimum.

  4. I check mine when most of the oil is in the sump. ;) Sometimes I just check level before I start up (cold). And sometimes after a run (hot). So both really. Can't go wrong there me thinks. :D

    Btw what you doing with a Mazda6? :o:)
