What kind of coolant do you use in a 2001 Yamaha Kodiak 400?

If coolant needs to be added and the owner does not know what kind is already in the engine, it should be drained and flushed before adding any new. Most coolants are appropriate, but it is not recommended to mix brands or types. Use a coolant safe for aluminum blocks or buy Yamaha brand coolant specifically for your model. The coolant should be premixed 50/50 or if it is not premixed, mix it 60% coolant and 40% water before adding.

How do you change the thermostat in your 1997 Mitsubishi Montero?

I just did mine. Look it up on google to find the correct location as you may have a diferent engine than me. Once you find it take the coolant pipe off and wait till the antifreeze has drained out then unscrew where the pipe conects to and it should be in there. I found the correct location by following the water pipe. Please make sure the coolant is cold before you do this also have a gasket, gasket cement and the new thermostat before you do this.
