cairnsGU Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 I have always used whatever seems to meet specs,,,,,If i had the money to use nothing but genuine i would. Pretty sure Genuine is just re-bottled something GQ Beast 1
Rumcajs Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 As long as you use ethylene glycol based coolant you can use any. Avoid the latest fancy mixes. Nissan coolant is just plain ethylene glycol and water mix. Cheers GQ Beast 1
mikegq Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 I have been using the Bursons brand coolant and it seems to do the job and well priced to
green troll Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 Ive always used tectaloy 90.green stuff.$20. was at a radiator place once and they told me not to use it. Got second and third opinion for a few other shops (natrad included) And they suggested tectaloy 90 is more than sufficent. Sent using Tapatalk
mikegq Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 It's on of those things every one has an opinion on unfortunately ur left to make ur own mind up as everyone's ideas conflict GQ Beast 1
Evil! Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 All i know is i used some red stuff this time ment for high loaded engines or some crap (thought it would been a good idea for a 4b) and i dont like, it as it seems to get hotter quicker and stay at high temps longer then it used to with the green stuff.
tonz_a_fun Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 X2 on tectalloy 90. Great stuff keeps the temp gauge just below half.

I've been told not to mix red and green. not good for some reason, don't know why. perhaps you need a flush?
bigbear Posted May 20, 2012 Report Posted May 20, 2012 I use the pink stuff in everything. Is it Tectalloy 90? Hmm dunno.
BigGQWesty Posted June 20, 2012 Report Posted June 20, 2012 I'm with GT using tectaloy 90.. But it's a lot cheaper to get the concentrate and mix it yourself.. Just filter your water threw a fine paint filter (my local painter just gives me a couple). It's never looked like overheating even while towing a tamping trailer across the hay plains in 50 degree summers.. And no corrosion on the alloy parts.. But don't mix the red and green.. It doesn't mix and can cause gasket and alloy damage..
Glort Posted June 20, 2012 Report Posted June 20, 2012 I have always used the Castrol Concerntrate that comes in the Little white Tins. Dunno if it's The best or the worst but I have not had a coolant related failure in 25 years so I take it the stuff is up to the job. I think its about $8 a can so cheap enough.
