Please explain...

Is it one in yellow 1 U.S Gallon (3.785 litres)?

Interesting thread. Will be following. My car (Camry '96) comes with this reddish coloured coolant in the radiator. I have searched for it but couldnt find it in the market. What should I do? Buy another type (greenish, blueish coloured)? What are the differences? The only time I topped my radiator, I used just water and I dont want to continue that way. Please advise.

So which coolant can i 'run' to. Which one(s) do you recommend.

First, you will need to find out the colour of coolant recommended for your car cooling system.

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.

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 ...

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.

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?

Yes, my engine cylinder head is Aluminium.

The price of TOTAL coolant is N350 a litre (a container).

It should be available at every TOTAL filing station.

I got this timeless Holt's Radiator Coolant made by Lanre Badmus Industries for my Montero Sport. Hope it is ok.

First, you need to find out what colour of Coolant your engine should use, then you take it from there. Google it.

All i know is that Peugeot recommends the TOTAL fluids for their cars. As for other brand of cars, i dont know since i dont use them.

Please,Ikenna, your opinion is needed here.

Pls find a way to get the original honda recommended type 2 coolant for your car. It may not be available here but it is a worthwhile investment to import the gallon. It is blue and not green, any other thing can damage your engine. I am considering doing same soon.

Ever since i bought my current car 2 years ago, i have been using the TOTAL Coolant(Green) and since then, i have rest of mind.

Total coolant seems suitable for Honda's...an alternative for the recommended Type 2...see respective product data sheet in links

after reading this

http://www.total.mu/os/content/NT000352B2.pdf

i leaked almost 6 litres from MY radiator, unfortunately when i was refiling the radiator it contain only 4 litres. when i started the car my temperature climbed to 110^C i became scared because i knew the water was not enough. i was unable to figure out how to bleed the radiator. after much effort to no avail i took it to a mechanic who did the bleeding. i have tested the car and i can tell you the total coolant worked for me ( 1 litre N350) although i used 4 but loose 2 along the line. the car is vw passat 1992. now i can use my ac without fear

Please Ikenna and the rest, is the TOTAL COOLANT good for VW Vento CLX 1997 model?

@the dude who drives a camry, do you stay in ph? if u do, you can get the original coolant from hebo at ikoku. He deals on genuine toyota parts. I bought mine from him along with a new thermostat. I think it costs about 6,000 for four litres.

Just bought this on Amazon for $26.70. It's the recommended OEM coolant for Honda Vehicles. Supposed to last for 5yrs

For Toyota owners, here you go $28.67.
