180sx coolant

[baz88]

Firslty why is just about every coolant resevoir bottle broken? When i first got mine it was broken so i went down to my mates brothers wreckers and out of about 9 id say 7 or 8 were also broken. Anyway, the coolant in my car seems to dissapear quite quickly. I know its not leaking for sure but i fill it and it seems to finish after about a week. Why is this?

you need to have coolant overnighted from japan for everything to work properly.

the real reason is, that our cars are getting old, and plastic gets brittle and breaks away.

Possibly burning it??? Is oil look like chocolate milk?
And I've got a overflow tank for sale if you would like to buy it. Just hit me up and LMK.

Yeah is it in the oil, or does the exhaust smell sweet.... check compression

Ohh. I cant say its in the oil, however, i did check my oil the other day and it looked worse than chocolate milk, it looked like really thick coca cola. It was extremely dark. Speaking of which is there any oil you guys would recommend for a 97 180sx? I want to make sure im using the right one. And when i do change the oil how do stop it from looking like that again? From what ws said the coolant is affecting the oil so how do i fix that and make sure the same thing doesnt happen again?

Green coolant, properly weighted synthetic oil
