    What coolant do people run in their 101's?

    And why?
    The books just say to use the correct type of antifreeze. What is the correct type?

    I use Tectaloy 60. Used it in my disco until I started chasing better performance and running redline water wetter. To be fair I havent really run my 101 properly yet but I wanted a proper coolant in there with anti-corrosive properties while it sits.

    edit* I don't concern myself with anti-freeze properties as I don't face that issue over here As long as the coolant has corrosion inhibitors then I'm happy.

    Techalloy gold in mine. That's been used in the Rangie for 10 years now, and the internals are like new - no sign of corrosion anywhere. I change it every 2 years and use distilled water.

    It is one of the first things I did to the 101 once I got it home.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    I have always used Castrol Corrosion Inhibitor, or Castrol Anti-freeze on my Rover V8's - same results as the other chaps

    Nulon Longlife every two years in V8s. BTW 50/50 with distilled water . The distilled water is probably the more important bit.

    After 11 years my radiator core was perfect when I had it rodded ( to prepare for Cape York) and good to go for several more years.

    Just about an QUALITY green coolant - antifreeze/antii corrosion will do. I currently have Techtyle pre mix in but I usually mix my own Castrol concentrate with distilled water.
