Yung pink na coolant? Wala eh, try mo na lang tanungin kasi sa Ford Balintawak yung Motorcraft ang binebenta nila kulay GREEN. Yung pink kasi factory fill yun...

Always use DISTILLED WATER. Never use MINERAL WATER kasi the mineral deposits can cause corrosion in your cooling system...

Check in the hardware auto section. I'm sure I have bought pink coollant from Prestone or Shell in the past.

Why is there a need to top up of coolant on a brand new? There must be something wrong with your cooling system for it to be even lowering the level of coolant. Coolants are good for 100,000 kms without any need for topping up or any other intervention.

I don't know what futuristic car you have but you must be kidding when you say coolant levels don't drop until 100,000km. Lahat ng cars ko (5 personal cars and 4 other family cars) na top up ko na a lot of times over their lifetimes, some drop faster than others... The Fiesta drops faster than normal but I am not concerned about that and I don't find it unusual.

Don't you find it unusual that a brand new car needs coolant topping up, at this stage of its life?

I'm speaking from experience when I say that a vehicle that needs constant topping up, usually means that you might need to check the cooling system for leaks and etc...

If there was a leak then it will drop much much faster that its dropping now. If you have a leak baka kada 2 weeks top up ka na Nag top up lang ako 2 weeks ago to bring it back to FULL again. I could have just left it until it drops to LOW pero wala OC lang ako...

By the way one thing I notice sa Fiesta na meron sa ibang cars namin is sya lang yung WALANG radiator cap. As in wala... Only a coolant bottle and that's it...

Kahapon tinanggal ko yung Matting ko, sa front passenger seat may nakita akong malaking hiwa sa Carpet ng car, yung hiwa is surely not from accident but parang nilagay talaga yun hiwa dun. Curious lang ako para saan yun. Meron din ba kayong ganito?

Medyo d ako happy sa floormat ko. Anung floormat ang gamit nyo? Pinalitan nyo na ba yung galing casa? Thanx

Eto mga priorities add-on ko sa new Fofi ko for now. Mudguard, leatherette seatcover at ang pinag iisipan ko pang Rainvisor. Parang d ako masyado napopogihan sa rain visor kasi.
