Returning my overpriced manifold gasket today for a refund I asked on the way out about the Holden coolant ( AcDelco), $53 isn;'t too bad but I said, it's only 5 ltrs concentrate and the system takes 12 ltrs.
He said yes but you'll never get all 12 ltrs out of it, so it will be fine, just flush it out with a hose and put in 5ltrs, then top up with tap water. To which I replied, I don't wish to flush with a hose and he said why not that's what we do....
So all my concerns about rightness seem to be overkill.
I was worried about Adelaide tap water, he said nah!
I was worried about not getting a perfect 50/50 mix ( 5ltrs coolant and 7 ltrs tap water), he said nah!
I was a little bit surprised he even said don't waste your time with demineralised water, this coolant is great it doesn't mater.
Personally, I am less confident than ever before with the Holden dealerships service dept and I am going to do it with a 6 ltr Nulon and 6 ltr demin water, in the end once i flush and rotate out as much of the tap water that I can.
