wats a gud coolant to put in a ford ranger ..i heard bout an oil based coolant...n e help here

bump..........

dont know really....i use prestone coolant....works real good

is dat prestone an oil base coolant

check their website...it should help....

anti freeze...... we dont have snow in Trinidad...

try fleetguard ethylene glycol blend....FT Farfan has.

its jus a pic..you can get prestone coolant all over

Toyota has a pink coolant selling it real good. You does see it sicking on the side of the over flow bottle.idk if it is oil base but just the way it behaves I wud guest so

oil base coolant is for machinery with more coolant ank tcapacity ...........so jus use distilled water an regular coolant 60/40 mix............60 being water

ok..tks guys...but will de water in d coolant cause wear an tear in engine..

it was designed to use water

Do not use water alone in your car, your heater pipe in the firewall will rust and start leaking...always use coolant...its meant to lubricate and keep engine at operating temp....water alone cools much better than coolant, so much so thst you will notice the temp guage reading change..causing the ecu to oush more gas or the thermostat to close...

firs of all, what does the owners manual recommend?
Too much bad advice in here
Willing to bet the Ranger requires an HOAT coolant...HOAT means Hybrid Organic Acid Technology, and relates to the specific chemistry of the coolant required. You also need something that is borate and phosphate free.....this oil-based thing is utter rubbish
Zerex Asian formula is an HOAT coolant and while it says 'asian' on the label, it should work in a ranger...

^^Correct currently using the asian vehicle in a ranger. When i upgrade radiator i will go Havoline/ Amsoil.Need to be silica free also(not little silica), cause remember its an aluminum engine block you have.

the zerex is silicate free as well

tks peeps...
btw wat bout redline 15-40...heard it can give u 8 to 10 km b4 service??????????

lol what does your owners manual say about oil change intervals?
Truth be told, any good synthetic can extend your oil drain, but it all depends on driving conditions....there can NEVER be a blanket claim that if you use our oil, you WILL get x or y more kms....that's just marketing booshheet.....a synthetic base oil can pretty much last forever, but additives get used up, deteriorate, contaminants get into the oil, oxidation occurs, sulphuric acid builds up.....without doing regular oil analysis, you gambling with your engine. I never understood why people sound so much money on a vehicle and then play cheap with maintenance.....
