Constant consume of cooling liquid.

[Mephy]

How come every 10.000 Km I have to add approximately 100 ml of cooling liquid? This has happened on all the cars that I owned.

The most logical reason that comes to my mind is that the water in the cooling liquid evaporates. If this is the reason, adding constantly cooling liquid will increase the mix 50/50 with time, so the solution will be to add once a while pure filtered water.

Premix is not available in Canada ?

I add premix, if you do the math the concentration in the radiator increases if the water evaporates with time

You don't do the math, you measure it with one of these

Consume Cooling liquid sounds like you are asking: What to add to your broth.

I'd just add premix or a little distilled water if I thought that it wouldn't freeze in the overflow bottle.
In reality for most anything between 40%-60% is perfectly fine.

Now upper MN or the equiv CA province you might want to be 70/30, and if tracking/racing 30/70 as long as the freezing protection is adequate.

Yes for sure you can use that. It was just a thought.

No in the title I did not use it, I should have used it as well

Get a dye test kit to check for leaks.
