    Where can I get some closed cooling system coolant to top off the reservoirs?
    North of tampa. Most marine stores here have no clue what I'm talking about.
    Is that RV coolant stuff the same?

    Thx

    The coolant is just Dex Cool antifreeze. You can get it at any automotive store.

    It is not the the RV pink stuff.

    ok.. RV stuff antifreeze only. and ? is the Dex cool 50/50 or something? Can't I just add regular antifreeze to top off?
    I really don't know whats in it, but I don't want to add something I can't.

    Thx

    Don't mix colors and you're good to go. Get some red anti freeze at your local auto store.

    Got the Dex Cool. Made for GM's, it's redish, so I think I'm good. I only needed a little.

    Thanks guys.

    I always keep a bottle of this around just for topping off (although haven't had to use it yet): http://www.mercurypartsexpress.com/u...ze-p29153.html

    If you are just topping off you should be fine with any red/orange 50/50 mixure.
