ATV coolant?

[daviddsims1]

Hey guys I am fixing to do a change of my coolant in my 2008 Yamaha Grizzly ATV. I was just wondering what is the best thing to put back in? I assume its the same as a car coolant system. I have been reading about G-05 and thought about that or either toyota coolant. Anyone have some suggestions? Thanks

Well I looked up the owners manual and it said use a high quality ethylene glycol. Really dont feel like going to the dealer so just maybe thought someone could give me a suggestion.

I just run regular antifreeze in my bike. I been buying the Premixed stuff at the dollar store.

The stuff I get is made by Chalet(who also makes the SB oil). I tested it with coolant test strips and it's fully formulated. Even has SCA's for big diesels.

I read somewhere that motorcycles and atv motors dont like silicates. I think I am going to go get some Toyota coolant just to be safe since it doesnt have silicates.

Todays coolants have very low Silicats. My bike is 20 yrs old and they didn't have non or low Silicated coolant when it was made.

Peak Global has no silicates and no 2-EH.
