Your coolant of choice?

[Jayhawk]

Going to flush the radiator this weekend, and wondered what everyone's coolant of choice is? Engine Ice? Other?

Gracias.

Being in Florida, I'm using as much water as possible, with a little standard car coolant from Advance Auto Parts.

Tex, just got it this week. Snagged it from eBay, just off of Parker and the Tollway in Plano.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

Yeah, I'm liking it.

Only mod on the Gen 1 is the Kerker 4-1, and a "jet kit". Haven't figured out which one, yet. It's only got 4,000 miles (eight years old), and I"m still trying to get the gremlins out of the carbs. (Come on, Seafoam.) It does have an OEM sissy bar, which is nice.

Ordered a set of ME880's to replace the stock rubber. Hope to get them installed next week when they arrive. Just going about changing out fluids...maybe the battery, too.

I'm running Hyper-Lube & soft water. Works great here in west central FL, but I wouldn't recommend it to anybody north of here - no freeze protection at all.

I'm in Arizona. Hotter than hell here. I use Engine Ice.

I used to be picky, but now I just use Prestone in all my vehicles. I've ran it in my goldwing, and venture. that were stored outside in the -60f temps of winter with no issues.

up here the temp gets to about 90 in the summer, and I haven't any isses with temp and the Vmax. As far as the cold of winter, I cleared out a special place in the garage so it dosn't have to get cold :biglaugh:

Currently running Engine Ice.... no complaints.

 

[dannymax]

Any brand name, decent quality anti-freeze works fine, Prestone, Peak, Zerex....any of them.

Just change it often, I change annually.

Im also running engine ice. Engine temps for mine here in FL are never past the screw on the temp gauge.

+1 Engine Ice. Dropped operating temp about 10 deg. Use it in the snowmobile also.
