i bought this royal purple ice radiator super coolant additive, and I'm reading that it should be used in new radiators until anti-freeze has been cycled through the system. My car is 4 months old, so does this mean I can't use it yet? Also do I put like the whole bottle in?

 

read the instructions as far as how much to put in, i've never used it, but i do use royal purple oil, and will use it in my tranny when i change tohe oil in there. im pretty sure that the anit-freeze in your car has circled enough times in 4 months to be ok, haha.

 

it says use only one ounce per quart capacity of your automotive cooling system or 1 bottle per system (up to a 20 quart system.) So which is it?

 

how much coolant does your car take. look in your owners manual, it'll say how much coolant is in your system. just read bro, trust me you'll be ok.

in the future, look at what your buying and learn something about it before you spend your money. it's save you a lot of time.

 

So wait lets say it takes x amount of coolant so do I have to wail till some coolant is gone then mix this in up to the required level? Sorry, I'm a newb when it comes to technical stuff with a car lol.

 

Your gas decal was Technical and you achieved that..

 

i bought 2 bottles... put 1 in the heatexchanger and 1 in the engine coolant. Altho right now im running like a 70%water 30%coolant

 

Just poor it all in,it won't hurt anything.

 

then it will go past the fill line

 

Just put as much as you can it won't hurt your car.I put the whole bottle in mine.

 

Same product as Red Line Water Wetter. It's a lubricant that lowers the surface tension of water. I used to use it in my Mustang. Use the whole bottle.

 

even if it goes past the fill line that's ok?

 

yeah.... for some reason my car eats coolant... idk why its not leaking anywhere... i just keep adding water past that cold fill line

 

just be careful dex-cool /dextron is some goofy ****.. if if you add a no dextron friendly additive to it it will clump up like jello.

 

Instructions:

1. Read the instructions.
2. Take the fake aluminum cap off the radiator/coolent resivor
3. Follow directions on bottle yet again.
4. put the aluminum cap back on
5. enjoy the royal purple coolant additive.

 

ok first of all I don't have the aluminum cap yet and its not fake aluminum its real its from MRZ performance. look all I want to know is if I add this its going to go past the "fill line" I want to know if that is ok that question hasn't been answered. and no I have no idea what type of antifreez or the mixture that is in there cause its what came from the dealer originally

 

I believe all new GM's come with Dexcool. A little bottle of that stuff isn't enough to significantly raise the level in the reservoir.

 

so then I shouldn't add it?

im not gonna put it in the manual says using additives can damage it i'll just use it in the taurus and my dads 92 vic they run hot

 

It most likely says right on the bottle that it's safe with Dexcool.

 

its just mother f***in coolent additive.........put it in, jesus christ it not gonna hurt the car

 

Why do you need it on a stock 2.4 cobalt? Just curious. If you are overheating you have other issues.

 

its driving 70mph into huge potholes while a mentally challenged friend is making a video in the back that must really be heating up his ****

 

i lolz at his threads

 

i lol'd.

 

i added redline water wetter to mine with no issues.
