Type of coolants

Post by Jayoflonghair »

Hey all new to the delica world. I just bought a delica l300 turbo diesel and the coolant is almost bone dry. It appears to be orange/red but hard to tell. I was wonder what some of you guys use in your delica?

Disclaimer: I have an L400, not sure if the L300 requires something specific.


That being said, I was recommended to use Prestone Command HD Coolant by CCAutos in my van when I swapped it out about 20k km ago. I mixed it 50/50 with distilled water, and although in my area you can use regular tap water, I felt using distilled was just a little bit better for the engine.
