[Healeys] Coolant change

[Bruce Steele]

I ran Evans for a year, and was not particularly happy with it.  Yes, it has
a higher boiling point, but my engine ran hotter and took longer to get to
operating temp as the engineer I spoke with at Evans advised to run without
the thermostat.  I went back to 25% glycol / 25% distilled water with Water
Wetter.

The anti corrosion properties do deteriorate. I would change the coolant
(blue or green, NOT red) every two years.
The waterless coolant does not cool as well, however it does not boil either
up to 180°C. It is also bloody expensive as you do not only need the coolant
but the prep fluid as well. If you cooling system is OK steer clear from it.

I've searched the archives looking for any discussion regarding how often to
change the coolant in the BN7.  If the answer is there...I missed it.  I'm
running a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and tap water and it tests o.k. as far as
freeze protection.  This mix has been in the system for a number of years.
Does coolant "go bad" with age?  Any thoughts about the waterless coolant
being sold on the market?

Thanks,
