Hey All
My first post!
Suppose i should introduce myself!
Recently took delivery of a 1989 TP SE Magna, complete with all the bells and whistles, inc cruise and a 5spd gear box! This is my daily car, as my other is a VR SS which is the weekend car!
Just a question on coolant - Which type do you guys use and recommend?
I was looking at using the Castrol Anti-Freeze, Anti-Boil, but wasnt sure if it would be suitable or not?
Also, what is the total cooling system capacity of a 2.6L EFI TP?
Thanks all
Chridda

I prefer to use the castrol concentrated coolant approx $10

1 litre from super cheap or add a bit mor if you think it needs it
should be a strong green colur to be right change every 10000 km
the car is older and the anticorrsive level has to stay high

so thats the anti-freeze, anti-boil concentrate yea?
its either available in the 1L or 2.5? that the stuff?
so 3L of concentrate, along with 3L of water do the trick alright?
