This is the right coolant for your car. Will last you 5 years or 150,000 miles N10,220. Already mixed so just pour.

It means if getting this, i will be purchasing 2 Gallons because the coolant in the car will have to be flushed completely befofe adding a new one. 1 Gallon won't be enough.

In that case, but buy the concentrate and miss mix yourself. Saves money. What kind of car?

This is a better choice ....with the Nigerian environment, dusty and constant heat... I don't think any coolant will last five years.. It will be better to change the coolant every year... how much is the prestone coolant.. The max is 8k naira compare to 10k naira of the other brand of coolant you mentioned...

10k coolant for 5years or 8k coolant per year?

Penny wise, pound...

You may be using your vehicle like a wandering vagabond but that doesn't mean we all share your misfortune.

It's utmost folly to hope to change coolants every year when you're not a Lagos Danfo driver. Or, maybe Danfo drivers are your intended clients.

Make logical arguments to support your sale, not ignorant guesses and conjectures.

Buy pre-mix and do it yourself but mix with distilled water. It's simple. Equal parts coolant and water. Sorry, was middle of night when I typed first response

1 gallon concentrate = 2 gallons pre-mix.

Ready to use is just a 50/50 solution

If I dare it, my mentions would sky-rocketed and my precious online sanity on Nairaland would be greatly disturbed that is why I created just a thread in Diary Section to share my (radical) thoughts where no mentions or replies are allowed.

Anyway, thanks for reading it.
