adallak Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Guru recommends to add 6 of the GM coolant supplement pellets to the coolant mix. I and perhaps many others use Bar's Leaks golden seal powder instead of pellets. It is the same stuff and is made by the same company. I was just wondering what is the weight of pellets? The powder in the tubes (see the picture attached) has net weight 0.75 avg oz (21.5 g). The saddest thing in life is wasted talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adallak Posted February 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Thanks Scotty! It means 6 pellets recommended by Guru are equal to 3 tubes of the powder - exactly what I have done last time while refreshing the coolant.

Ranger Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Just to add a little more confusion to the equation, the FSM says to add 3 tabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maremrak Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 What about the liquid bar's leak? It comes from the same company. Can that be put directly into radiator tank? 1960 Sedan De Ville (sold) 1970 Coupe De Ville (sold) 1987 Mazda RX-7 (sold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 What about the liquid bar's leak? It comes from the same company. Can that be put directly into radiator tank? I don't know about that product but never put anything in the tank, put it directly in the upper or lower hose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 What about the liquid bar's leak? It comes from the same company. Can that be put directly into radiator tank? No, don't use that stuff. I believe I recall Guru saying that it will cause foaming if your talking about what I think you are talking about. Stick with the tabs or the powder.

STYES Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 The product pictured in this thread is what to use. Per the forum, the upper hose is acceptible. One "tube" a year after 60 grand is the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regis Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I'm starting to feel like the Lone Wolf here. Is there anyone else that doesn't use the supplements? I have nothing against them and they sound like a good idea. I just have never used them in any car I've ever owned.
