Does anybody know what the factory rad coolant is protected for the winter freeze point???I did not check mine yet and the temp here in jan. and feb can get as low as -30 to 35 C.It's not a problem I will still check mine ...but just thought I would send this post to find out any readers input before I check........Do you guys go 2-3 years before changing the Rad coolant????the quad is sportsman 450 BTW.....caper.......

 

I do mine ever year... when you change it use a 50/50 mix..

 

Is a 50/50 mix strong enough for the real cold temp........Do you use Alum. compadable anti-freeze...........................caper............ .THANKS

 

i live in wisconsin and i use a 50\50 and i change it every other year in my polaris and i havent changed it yet in my wifes brp

 

How low is the freeze point on a 50/50 mix........may be only around -30 C or so ....Is that right!!!!!!!....caper.....

 

Why not stop at the parts store and pick up a tester.

that ought to take out the guess work .

yea shure you bet

 

A 50/50 mix should put you at a freeze protection of 26 to 28 degrees below zero. Since you are from Huntsville, you got nothing to worry about.

 

i tested mine when i drained it to clean the radiator and it was good down to -35 f. i put new prestone 50/50 bck in it and got the same reading so im all set.

 

Huntsville Ontario CANADA.......caper........WE have the heat on in the house NOW!!!!!

 

Sorry, thought it was huntsville alaBAMA
