  1. There are several types of coolent as far as I know. All these have anti rust properties and also extends the boiling and freezing point of water. Some of these have ANTIFREEZE properties which is absolutely useless in Sri Lanka,as antifreeze chemical prevents the water from freezing during winter.(GREAT FOR WINTER COUNTRIES-actually most of the vehicle manufacturing countries have a winter like Japan) But there is no harm in having it in tropical countries like ours. Most of our vehicles use IAT antifreeze which is green in colour.It needs flushing every 2 years. OAT antifreeze has many colours including DARK green, orange ,pink. This needs flushing every 5 years and is BETTER than the light green type(IAT). HOAT is the third type. It comes in orange and yellow colours. Flushing interval is 5 years. The need for flushing arises as the chemical properties of the liquid wears out in several years so that corrosion begins. Mixing in between antifreeze types will reduce its lifespan especially when light green IAT is mixed with others. My vehicle which is a AXIO came with pink OAT which is Toyota s antifreeze type/needs replacement every 5 years only. Advice for you is to use an coolent always.In the correct dilution too.
  2. Can anybody help me on the costs that involve installing a reverse camera,I already have a TV navigation system
