Guys, guys, come on now, maybe we shouldn't be so rough on him.

Here, I'll help you out man. I know how rough it can be, trying to figure out what kind of coolant to put in your J-spec motor (there's so many kinds of coolant out there!!) This is a highly technical question, and the SR20 is a highly specialized type of engine, but I'm thinking maybe you should use..........water?

Come on project240, give him the truth.

Use the green liquid that comes from a yellow bottle. It taste a little sweet. Do not however use the pink/reddish stuff. That is for Newer less sophisticated engines.

[Joe]

your saying a LS1 is less sophisticated?

im not even gonna get into that argument.

There's nothing to argue. The whole post was sarcasm. Come on, a ten year old engine that needs it's coolant replaced every year vs a brand new engine that needs its coolant replaced every 100K miles. Easy there Kamin.
