I’ve heard that using the wrong coolant can damage the radiator and cause leaks in Suzuki Wagon R, especially in Pakistan’s hot climate. What type o r brand of coolant should I use to keep my cooling system healthy and avoid radiator problems?

Detailed Answer:
Choosing the right coolant is crucial to maintaining your Wagon R’s radiator and preventing leaks o r overheating, particularly in Pakistan’s extreme temperatures. Here’s what to consider:

Recommended Coolant Type:

Use ethylene glycol-based antifreeze coolant with corrosion inhibitors designed for aluminum engines.

Avoid plain water o r inexpensive water-based coolants without additives.

Look for long-life coolant that offers protection up to 2-3 years o r 40,000 km.

Commonly Used Brands:

Suzuki Genuine Coolant best option.

High-quality aftermarket coolants like Prestone, Zerex, o r Havoline.

Avoid mixing different types of coolants e.g., inorganic additive coolant with organic acid technology coolant.

Maintenance Tips:

Flush the cooling system every 30,000–40,000 km o r once every 1-2 years.

Check coolant level regularly and top up with the same coolant type.

Use distilled water to mix with coolant if dilution is needed.

Proper coolant maintenance reduces corrosion and stress on radiator plastic parts, helping to prevent leaks and prolong the radiator’s life.
