Up until 1:40pm today I was quite certain that green was the one and only coolant colour. I wasn't pretending anything - I was just plain wrong. I could have been a little more subdued in my wrongness.

It's been a lesson for both of us.

 

oh, yea im not pointing you out, but as a new 2nd gen owner (only been 6 days) I wanna learn as much as I can about the RX7.

 

The GM / Dex-cool type coolant is an extended life type of coolant. We do not need this type of coolant. I read articles and spoke to a few rotory specialist that note that these type of coolants (possibly) Disintegrate the water seals.

For use rotory user, it is wise to change your coolant once a year.

In addition, there is a mfg that sells a radiator cap that has a probe that is attached to the bottom end of the cap. The probe attracts the harmful Electrolysis (electricity flow) within the cooling system. Which (I hope every knows) attacks the metal of the rotor housing.

AGAIN, CHG YOUR COOLANT ONCE A YEAR!
