What kind of coolant?

[Bersquack]

Hi guys,

I noticed my spyder running hotter than usual in the last few days, so I checked the coolant level and it is definitely low.

Do you buy the BRP stuff or something else? From the owner's manual it is 50% distilled water and 50% antifreeze, so I guess I could mix my own, but wanted to hear from others.

Thanks a bunch.

Just buy the green automotive stuff... which is silicone / silicate free... for aluminum engines.

I buy the pre-mixed but that's up to you.

Ya since the last update mine is running at least 1 bar hotter on an already hot engine. Added water wetter still no difference. Added juice box to the ESI green filter with Hindle still runs Hot. Ordered the air dam ,hopes that cools things down a tad.

I would buy it pre-mixed as well.

I installed the Missing Air Dam kit, and went for a ryde today. It was 97F outside and the Spyder only reached 5 bars while stopped at a traffic light. Rest of the time it never went over 4 bars, and that was with me keeping it under 65. For the $25.50 it certainly may help, and definitely can't hurt anything. :thumbup:
