Any Carens owner did a rediator flush for your Carens? Thinking of flushing the rediator during next servicing and top up with RedL*** water wetter.

Can you see any different for the temperature base on the meter? can see difference in the temp meter meh? dun think so leh..... btw, can flush at stamford tyres coz they got the machine that sucks out the used coolant thru pressure....very style as I did it b4 with them.....if your radiator too old or rusty, then dun go there coz the suction power may be too strong and suck out rusty parts of your radiator and cause it to leak.....

how often should we flush the radiator? Frequency depends on the type of coolant you use, all coolants should be checked yearly for performance criteria.Standard-type coolant should be changed every 2 yrs; long-life coolants, between 2 n 4 yrs. D seller who sold me d RL Water wetter claims it last for 50,000 km abt 5yrs for me to clock dat mileage ;D

I change my transmission oil and radiator flush @ hawk extra for MYR21....bring my own redline oil and water wetter. less than half an hour job:cheers: Bro, you ride manual or auto cerato? If manual, can advise which redline manual transmission oil you use? I also service my car at Xtra Hwak tyre. My next service will be next week and going to try out the Castrol oil from Terence (0W30). Currently using their bundled package oil (mobil 5W50) for the past 20k. Pickup and response really cannot make it. Meanwhile will also flush the coolant and replace with Redline water wetter. Did they mix the Redline water wetter with tap water or you bring your own distilled water there?

i not sure whether redline water wetter good or not....but shall be better than the stock one and those sold in supermarket. Since my ride close to 2 years, might as well flush it and somemore redline only $17 per bottle (group buy price) and can tahan 50000km.
I also bought redline motor oil....yet to try out. But I just tried Redline fuel system cleaner....seems like my FC improved. This is only my 1st tank and will confirm the FC improvement after my coming petrol top up.
