water wetter and antifreeze
 
Was after some advice on water wetter.coolant additives and antifreeze. I read somewhere about some anti freezes being bad for seals. Not sure of same applies to water wetters or what I need to look for. I have some Lucas super coolant to put in at the ready but thought I would double check it was okay to use first and if I should also run anti freeze with it and if so what to look for and what sort of mix ratio. I ran redline water wetter before without anti freeze.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Just run 50/50 antifreeze and water. you can go to 60/40 for a small increase in boiling point.

Going to go 60/40 and use a bottle of the Lucas I think.. Do you know the capacity of the water system by any change roughly obviously depending on rad I am guessing around 10 litres?

thank you for that HSMIDY.. just so I can gauge the ratio.
So I will go with a gallon of distilled. then my bottle of lucas then see if I can get a gallon of the antifreeze in and top up with distilled. Should see me about right!

Cheers
