Ikenna351: 205/65 R17 would do, depending on how high you want it to go.

But note that you gain some, you lose some. It will definitely affect the handling, speedometer, and maybe, the fuel conumption.

Ikenna.

Thanks kenmaro

Ikenna...I want to go as high as possible...without any adverse effects on the car

So what specs can I safely go with?

Car Talk › Changing Tyre Specs by Denc(op): 9:26am On Apr 21, 2013*

Hello all

My recommended tyre specs are
P 215 50 R 17 93 V

However, I want to increase ground clearance by changing the tyres whilst using the same 17 inch rims

Please suggest what tyre specs I can opt for without increasing fuel consumption OR having other negative side-effects...

Ikenna351: The TOTAL coolant contains Mono-ethylene-glycol which is good and recommended compound for engines or cooling systems. Google it and find out.

Even if you are not going to use the TOTAL green coolant, make sure whichever brand you choose contains the Mono-ethylene-glycol.

By the way, on the TOTAL coolant label, it reads "Not compatible with silicate formulation". It also stated on the label "contains no Nitrate, phosphate or amine". I dont know if that answers your question.

I dont know about Honda, but i know that Peugeot recommends TOTAL coolant for their cars.

Ikenna.

Thanks

I have highlighted the parts of your post that tie to the manual's recommendation
Just need to figure-out the aluminium engine bit...heard using wrong coolant can corrode the engine...is your Peugeot an aluminium engine like Honda's?

Also quote price per pack

I guess I can get it at any Total filling station, rite?

Ikenna351: I dont know about that size, but i bought the 4 litre one and it was nonsense. Water was even better than it.

The thing is, there could still be original Abro coolant, but knowing which one is original is where the problem lies. The one i bought was like they mixed water with green poster colour. I have already flushed the nonsense out and refilled with green TOTAL coolant. Even when i was flushing it out, the colour was no longer green. It had turned to water colour.

Anyway, am not saying its a bad product. But from what i experienced from the one i used, Abro coolant wont see my engine bay again.

Ikenna.

Hello

The car manual recommends Honda Long-life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 (this is not available at Honda Place, Burma Road, Apapa, Lagos)

In the interim, it says "...use another major-brand non-silicate coolant...make sure it is a high-quality coolant recommended for aluminium engines"

Does the TOTAL coolant meet the above specs? OR can you recommend a brand please ...
