[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 542947, member: 4527"] Few things I read about coolant: ~ coolant color, red dye represent long life coolant, I wonder how long is long.. It seems Volvo was initially using blue dye but now green d. ~ BMW blue coolant contains plastic conditioner to preserve the many plastic component in our cooling system. ~ Avoid coolant containing phosphate because it react with our hard water and form deposits ~ best use "air suling" or distill water for the mix and avoid SYABAS pipe water due to the high mineral content. What about RO water? confirm no mineral, bacteria also can't live in it. RO water is very "corrosive" or unstable molecule, would it cause any damage to our cooling system? [/QUOTE]
