jonesy116 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hey, What kind of coolant do you need to put in a banshee? Is it the normal stuff you put in a car or is there special coolant needed? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone82 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 You can run normal auto coolent or engine ice or water with water wetter added. I've run all three with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott M Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 50/50 auto coolant / water (denatured/boiled) works. If overheating is a issue you can try the expensive stuff and/or an additive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 50/50 auto coolant / water (denatured/boiled) works. If overheating is a issue you can try the expensive stuff and/or an additive. ok, let me dispell a myth real quick. boiling/microwaving/filtering water is not the same as distilled/"denatured" water. period. the deistilling process is the same as making alchohol or fuel. it is evaporated, collected as a vapor, then returned into a liquid, leaving the minerals and chemicals behind. pure water. the other methods only kill biological content, but still leave the harmfull electrolytic and corrosive deposits commonly found in water. that beind said, i, prsonally am an advocate for dex-cool because of it's superior lubricity, and aditives. however, i wouldn't blink twice about recomending engine ice, or water wetter in any combonation. the bottom line is, that whatever you choose, make sure it is in good condition. every coolant will turn from good/great to a harmfull acid over time. 2-3 years on conventional, and 5-6 years on dex.

dirtydownunder Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 standard banshee coolant is an ethylene glycol based coolant so if your going to top it up make shaw you use the same. If you dont know what coolant it has flush the cooling system then add what you want. differant based coolants wont mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
