Engine Coolant

tommymac · 07-08-2009, 12:33 PM

The priller is ready for a coolant flush (and a few other project/maintenance work) and had a question. A fe wyears back I bought 2 bottles of the maxima coolanol coolant. I forgot I had it but found it when I was unpacking stuff at the house. So I have 2 questions is this stuff decent to use and is it ok that its a few yrs old but is in sealed bottles? I figured I have it so if its ok I might as well use it.

It should be good. I would use it without hesitating.

The only thing that could be wrong with it is that could have absorbed some water as its hydroscopic(sp) but that will not be a problem. Now if it was brake fuild you would have a issue.
