type of coolant for f4i
 
what kind of coolant do you all use on the f4i's (not the california one, if that matters)?

thanks.

Just make sure whatever you used is ok for aluminum engines, and keep your mix at 50/50. I personally used distilled water when mixing. I have heard good things about engine ice as well, supposed to drop your running temps up to 15 degrees.

The answer I got yesterday in a thread I made in this exact forum about this exact topic is to make sure it doesn't have silicate inhibitors and is safe for aluminum. I couldn't find anything at AutoZone, Checker, Wal*Mart, or Target that specifically said both. I'm dropping by the motorcycle shop today to pick up some Engine Ice.

Just make sure it says safe for aluminum engines it should be fine.

+1 with Sick97SS. I emptied everything out and fille it back up. only took about 2 and 1/2 quarts. Buy 3 and you should be good.
