Water free radiator?

[preno]

newbie po. tatanong ko lang kung di na ba talaga nilalagyan ng tubig yung radiator? kasi may coolant reservoir na.

Mitsubishi Mirage 2013 GLX MT

Galing kasi ko sa diesel engine na lagi ichecheck yung tubig kung kulang. Tapos walang coolant reservoir. Radiator lang na lalagyan ng tubig parang sa jeep

overheat abutin ng makina mo kung walang tubig radiator mo

yung coolant reservoir ay overflow tank lang yan, kapag kumulo yung tubig tataas yung pressure at yung overflow na coolant napupunta sa reservoir. kaya yung label niyan Hot/Cold o kaya Max/Min. Kapag mainit makina tumataas level niyan sa nag overflow na tubig o coolant, kapag malamig na makina bumababa kasi nahihigop ulit pabalik sa radiator. dapat puno yung radiator then may laman yung reservoir up to min level. usual na recommended mixture ay 50:50 coolant/water.

kung wala ka radiator reservoir like mga pampasadang jeep, wala ka indicator kung nasa tamang level pa ba laman ng radiator mo. kaya tingnan mo kada umaga, nagtop-up si manong driver. kapag nakalimutan o tinamad, overheat malamang abutin ng makina

Since brand new, minimal checking lang.

Once a month lang ako mag check. After a year, it's still on the max level.

practically all modern vehicles with a radiator have an overflow tank or cannister, and a sealed cooling system.
for as long as your seals are ok and your engine does not overheat, your coolant levels will remain ok for a long time. you don't have to add coolant over long periods of time, as in, years.
new car? enjoy!

Gulat ako sa title.

Ano yan? Parang urinal sa CR?

Joking lang po.

Do not put water in your brand new car's radiator. Have the casa take care of it during PMS or buy the recommended coolant from the casa and refill it yourself.

Parang byenan ko lang din yan na galing owner na gusto kalikutin oto nya. Kulang na lang ikadena ko sa kulit.

There is a waterless coolant. Jay Leno uses it for his very old classics to prevent corroding priceless parts. Will cost you though.

don't use water alone sir use prestone coolant. may anti freeze and anti boil and anti rust kasi yan na wala sa ordinary water.

Better not mix coolants especially when they're in different colors. Mitsubishi has their own premixed coolant that you can buy from the casa or some auto supply shops.

improvise
yun kasi sa jeep may hose saka imbudo naka lagay sa driver side na naka tugon sa radiator..
kapag natutuyuan na ng tubig sa gitna ng trapik hindi mo na kailangan bumaba ng jeep
para mag tubig..dun na sila nag bubuhos sa imbudo na naka lagay sa bintana diretso sa radiator

o diba ..gawang pinoy...

bago pa mirrage mo kaya sigurado hindi pa yan magbabawas ng tubig ..tama ng silipin ang reservor kung may laman pa..
at depende nalang din sa layo ng tinakbo mo...

bago naman ang oto mo.
but you would have to check on it once a month.
