[halik008]

search didn't tell me much..

I'm about the flush my radiator and put new coolant in before fall starts. But which is the best coolant for Turbo'ed DSM?? When to Murray's but there are just so many different ones to choose from.

Which would you recommend to get???

Prestone seems to be the most widely used coolant. I've used it on all of my cars with no problems.

Yes, just normal Prestone. Or, you can get their new ripoff pre-mix, then you'll only need a bit more than another gallon of distilled water from the grocery store to top-off the system and you'll be close to the ideal 30% antifreeze for summer.

If the Prestone costs an extra three bucks, who cares?

Yeah I use prestone with no problems at all, use 60%/40% split water/coolant and dump in a bottle of water wetter and make sure to do the thermostat and get a new cap.
