    a few more questions... relating to oils coolants ect

    Hi Guys..

    i Need you expertise here please!

    1, Coolant - red Oat stuff required... but i seem to struggle to find it in concentrate or premix form.. i always see the green stuff... the question i have is.... is this stuff suitable... doesnt say OAT anywhere..

    http://www.penrite.com.au/files/UTQW...SINCOOLANT.pdf

    1a, What would you dilute 50/50 with? tap water or distilled water?
    1b, also what do people use to flush out the cooling system?
    1c are there any air traps that i have to watch out for? (sorry just want to cover all angles!)

    2, im looking at getting the Oil pump bolt done.. as i think its a wise precaution... i have been quoted $338 which i think is a bit hefty... and im probably capable of doing it myself while the ECU is off for tweaking.

    what parts will i need to complete the job? im thinking...

    bolt
    Sump Gasket
    Oil Filter
    Degreaser, Loads of!
    loctite
    rags
    and a huge sheet to stop ruining my drive!

    anything i have missed? also any special tools that i need? (ie torque wrench ) any special techniques that you can share too

    i think thats it for now.... im sure i'll think of some more!

    Thanks

    Steve

    Any reputable parts shop or even Supercheap should have the OAT coolant on the shelf.
    Failing that, try a Caltex servo.

    I get it in pre-mix form from Supercheap, it's a 50/50 mix with coolant and distilled water
