Sorry -coolant again - SV650.org

I have checked the side of my castrol coolant bottle and it specifically says that I should not mix it with water, the local bike shop said i should.

Any advice please.

It may come ready-mixed. The stuff I used a couple of years ago came as a 50% mix as standard.

Who do you trust to know what they are talking about, Castrol or the guy in the bike shop?

Yeah. If the man in the bike shop told you to jump off a cliff, would you do it?!

Well if Castrol said it...

I would go with what it sas on the bottle myself after all they must have put that there for a reason.

Have just recently changed my coolant,
Label said mix with Distilled water and not tap water!
Though the coolant was not Castrol and was pink like VW G12,
should not need changed for 6years according to label.
Will change it regular as per manual.
