It has lubricants in it for the water pump and is formulated to be kind to aluminum. __________________ SUPPORT 318ti.org! CLICK THE LINK ABOVE!

Could you give me a good procedure? I want to make sure I'm doing it right.... thanks, ace | | | 12-17-2010, 05:45 PM | #21 | Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Houston Posts: 14 | Short term I dont think there would be a problem with mixing. But, you said you wanted to do the best thing and a flush was a possibility. Then, be sure to drain the engine block too, flush and drain completely with a water hose and refill with the BMW coolant. Improper mix of coolant (too much water) or use of non DI water can lead to electrolysis and the aluminum block will be eaten. Not to mention the radiator "chalking" up. Check all your hoses and have a nalgene clearly labeled with a 50/50 mix in your trunk. I have seen nice write ups in Pelican Parts web site. | | | 12-17-2010, 05:50 PM | #22 | Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Houston Posts: 14 | I just read the link given above. That is real good. I think I will give it to my 19 yo and tell him "go to it"! | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
