noobie coolant question
the coolant level is pretty low in my resoveir tank (clear plastic tank) i could see water and a little green, So do i fill that up with coolant to the max line or do i add coolant to the radiator(the hole the coolant cap is covering)?
also what kind of oil can I use for my b16 a-1 motor?

for the coolant prob, mix 50/50 coolant and water and add to the clear box, if there is room to add to the radiator , add some to there also
i just use valvoline 10-30 engine oil. the brand is just persoanl preference. good luck, and make sure to check your fluid levels every once in a while

One question about the coolant/water, the 50/50 of each. Does this depend on the severe conditions of the car? Winter's freezing here, should we put less water and more coolant when mixing them to prevent freezing?

since ur in need of coolant for sure..may as well put in some water wetter
and fill the rest of the way with distill d water
but whatever u do..don t use tap water..use distill d water only

50/50 should work fine there. It gets pretty cold here too, and I haven't ever had a problem with that setup.
