for aluminum engines and radiators)
in the cooling system. On the mixture
ratio of coolant, choose the suitable
one referring to the relation between
freezing point and strength directed on
the container.
NOTICE

it causes scale accumulation in the
water passages, and considerably
reduces the eciency of the cooling
system.
