Antifreeze

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by Richard Steinfeld, Mar 5, 2005.

  1. I'd like to know what the optimum antifreeze type is for my 2000
    Hyundai Sonata.

    I'm especially concerned about this after suffering from
    electrolytic corrosion in my last vehicle -- a Ford, with a steel
    block and head, a conventional radiator (forgot), and an aluminum
    heater core. The heater core job, as with many Fords, was
    intricate and costly, and there was always rust in the coolant
    when using conventional ethylene glycol (green) antifreeze. I
    just don't want to go there again.

    A recommended fix for this nasty Ford problem is to connect wires
    to the radiator and heater core, to ground them to the engine
    block, and/or change the coolant to a better type. What's the
    story for Hyundais?

    Thanks.

    Richard
