Coolant Change Question.

[MFP]

Time to change the coolant on my '13 S10 which would be the first time since I bought the bike in June '18.
Would prefer to use Yamalube / Yamacool.
Before I order just want to verify this is the right product and not some marine or snowmobile specific anti-freeze/coolant.
SKU # ACC-YAMAC-BL-32:

*Yes I performed a search to no avail....

Been using Peak Global Lifetime premixed antifreeze in everything I own for many years, the original water pump in my Goldwing lasted 450,000 miles.

Yeah, nothing magic about the Yamalube stuff. I just use the Prestone universal 50/50 for all vehicles in all of my stuff. After I put it in the Ténéré, the one or two droplets of coolant frequently present at end of the water pump drain hose stopped appearing.

2 quarts of the Yamaha blue. And don't forget to ask for the tiny copper washer for the drain plug. Trust me, change it. Otherwise, an easy maintenance.

Bought both a new drain bolt plug and copper washer….

Someone here mentioned Castrol coolant test strips.
I bought some and found the coolant didn't need changing - bonus.

FWIW I've got an F250 with the same discount auto parts store antifreeze in it for at least 50k miles and about 6-7 years and it still checks out ok. It's had the $hit run out of it.

I had some sludge in my reservoir bottle and felt better to pull it and flush it.

Just fyi on those replacing the drain plug copper washer its #90430-06014
