i did a search on these but did not get anything so here goes....
i need to replace my upper radiator hose cause i noticed it is already showing that it is ready to break. i inspected the other hoses on my car and they look ok. my car already have 104k miles on it, my question is is it a good idea to replace all the hoses where coolant passes thru or just replace the upper hose?
and also what kind of coolant do you guys/gals use?
thanks for the help!

 

i replaced my upper and lower radiator hoses when i replaced my radiator a lil while ago, they are cheap.. might as well do both! just make sure your engine is cool and you have some anti-freeze and distilled water with you.. 50/50 is the best mix!

 

Even though most coolant bottles say 70/30 mix?

 

Sometimes hose can crack from inside then you can't tell untill you take the hose out.
Anyways, as for what kind of coolant, I have always used Honda/Acura antifreeze.
It costs more but I can be sure it's made for our engine vs. aftermarket stuff.

I'm using 70/30 mixture right now because where I live,
the tempature rarely drops below freezing in the winter.

 

thanks to all the replies!
how about those heater hose and i think there is a couple more hoses that collant passes thru. should i replace those now?
