I think ATV coolant has different additives in it than car coolant. I just run engine ice in all my stuff and love it.

Ditto :)

though my brother put a 370 kit in his sons 250R & it is getting too hot so thru some research he was told to use auto coolant as it is thicker or something like that :o he thought that the engine ice would be better, NOT sure if he's tried it yet??!!

Are you asking if you can put coolant in your 250EX????

Yeh, put coolant in your 250ex, if you can find the filler.


Its Air-Cooled bud.

I used green car stuff in my 250r.

I've heard automotive coolant will not work as well in an aluminum radiator.

I used to run Honda's 50/50 mix in my two strokes. I switched to Engine Ice in my Raptor and found it lowered my temps significantly.

You are correct.
