Default RE: fluids

I use Jaguar Anti-freeze and Brake fluid..

50/50 mix with distilled water brings the freezing point down to -40 F

A DOT 4 Brake fluid is recommened.


It is NOT the same as Dex-Cool

Default RE: fluids

It took me2.5 bottles to completely purge my Brake system..

One Gallon of the Anti-freeze concentrate mixed 50/50 with distelled water..I drained the system completely or at least all I could get out and refilled witrh fresh coolant. I had about a half a gallon left over when I was done.
