Ford guy told me 5lt, your doc says 12.5lt, wonder if that is just coolant or total combined cooling system liquid ie water and coolant.Might have to get a 3rd opinion.

I recently flushed my coolant and used the recommended R1-33 coolant. Bought it in a 5 litre concentrate bottle from Coventrys (around $50 from memory).On the back it says you can add 33% or 50% depending on what properties you want it to have (different boiling points....etc), so I listened to a mates advice and basically used close to 50% ratio of coolant to distilled water.It took about 4 litres of coolant to roughly the same amount of distilled water for me to get a 50/50 mix and get it up to the MAX mark on the overflow bottle. A bit more water was required once it opened up the thermostat and the water started flowing (make sure you crank the heater on too so it flows through there too)I hope that helps you.

Drained the system / radiator in to a container and got 7.4 litres out of it. The rest will not drain out. Got NULON LONG LIVE Concentrate and put 3 & 3/4 Litres in . The rest was Distilled Water from Woolworth or Coles.I now got a 50/50 mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
