How often should you really change out the coolant? My 02 has never been opened and has about 169 hours on it. I was thinking that it might be time to give it some fresh coolant before summer. Also, are their any other brands or should I stick with stealership stuff. Thanks.

 

Change mine every November with 50/50 mix Prestone.:cool

 

Thanks for the reply. I did loose a little when I did some carb maint, and it dripped out.. it is time for a change. Thanks.

Love those T-5 wheels man. Now I may have to also pimp my ride.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Almost looks too purdy to get muddy. I did say almost.

yeah my first dip in the mudd after the wheels had me cringing, up until the added grip flung me through. Then I forgot all about it. My wheels will be mudd etched in no time and require sandblasting, but its fun!

 

I Looked in the Kawi Service manual & it does say change Coolant every 2 years[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

I'm just trying to decide between the T-5 & T-6? I'll also try a Holeshot ATR in the rear, presently running a Mudmachine Tri-Claw in the rear. I get wheel standing traction now and my quad powerslides great. Later on I'll order me a Biclaw for the front and have me a set of mud and play/performance tires.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I want to get a set of play/hardpack tires and wheels also. Im thinking about the Maxis tires, they look cool too. I am in the process of buying a house though, so the toys for the toys have to wait. Actually I only went looking for a house because they told me I cant keep my four wheeler on the Air Force base anymore....

 

I change mine every year. It's cheap.

You don't need special atv or dirtbike coolant. As long as the antifreeze says its safe for aluminum (it all is these days) your good to go. I buy the premixed stuff since it uses deionized water.
