Which coolant? Pointy.
 
Hi all I know there been a few threads on coolant, I am thinking about doing a coolent change myself, but seem to get crossed info from shops on ebay, told not to use castrol as additives my damage engine, I read it's a aluminium alloy engine, looked at rockoil kool xl, told safe for ally aluminium, heard prestone for cars coolent also,would flush out with distilled water before filling, got manual so no problems, have done brakes, & braided lines myself, so think more tan capable, just worried about wot coolant, and thought or advice please.

If you want to be really clever and never have to change your coolant again, try waterless coolant.

Seriously, it does exist and causes less corrosion to your engine.

That's what I'm thinking, thought I would buy the coolant in before, plus do some reading up on it, all the best
