I use Techaloy Gold coolant these days.

In W.A. we don't need to bother with Antifreeze.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

nothing wrong with tectaloy, i got castrol in mine at the moment & nothing wrong with that either but i probably should of went with tectaloy. thats more readily available, & can come in a 1 litre bottle too in case you just need a top up. plus more of a range with tectaloy to suit average old cars to precious performace & expensive cars as well.

my 1.6s has a 6 litre coolant capacity i think? & since castrol coolant only comes in the 5 litre container (in the stores that stocked it) i had to buy another one & now got 4 litres spare which i don't know when i'll ever use...

tectaloy is also aussie made too i think, help the economy man
