Definitief anti-freeze ook.

My Rotax manual is nie nou by my nie, maar jy benodig heelwat anti-freeze in die mengsel.

En soos wat die debat oor 2-slag olie gaan, is daar blykbaar ook spesifieke anti-freeze wat jy moet / en nie moet gebruik.

Maak maar net seker die antifreeze kan werk met allumenium. Volg dan die details op die bottel.

Ek kry gewoontlik by die motorfiets winkel a kwaliteit antifreeze.

Ant, according to Rotax recommended liquids and fluids, any antifreeze that is silicate free and mixed 50 50 with distilled water. I flushed with 5 liters of distiller water and then filled with Castrol SF (silicate free) pre mix, pink in color. Done 100 hrs now and temp is between 60 & 75. mostly 65.

To cut a very long story short - must be compatible with aluminium (most are nowadays anyway) and NOT more than 50/50 mix.
If you put too much antifreeze in you can actually INCREASE the temperature. Remember, its called "antifreeze" We do not have those kind of temperatures in SA that freeze up engine blocks etc. I usually only put about 30% antifreeze.
If you experience higher than normal temps, try reducing the mix.
There's a saying that goes "less is more".

The "anti freeze" or "coolant additive" also changes (increase) the boiling point of water (changing from liquid to gaseous stage)
