does it matter what type of coolant i put in my kfx 400
does it matter what type of coolant i put in my kfx 400
IMO, yes it does. Some coolants have different additives in them which makes them better or worse. Definately use a coolant that is specified for an ATV. I prefer to use Engine Ice or Maxima Coolanol. There are several different brands out there. So, which ever one that you use be sure to follow their recomended mix, most are generally 50/50 but, there are a few that require a proper mix ratio.

so coolant for a polaris will work in a kfx
Have you checked the owners manual to see what the specifications are for coolant type. You may be able to use it, I dont really know. If it meets the requirement for your KFX then yeah. I strongly recomend using Engine Ice.

I agree. Engine Ice works very well. I have noticed my fan doesn't come on nearly as much as before.Originally posted by jonboy

if you have magnesium covers on the engine it is a good idea to use evans coolant. it will keep your engine cooler than engine ice and it lubricates better so your water pump lasts longer. it is a must for magnesium because water can corrode the magnesium and evans coolant won't. get the NPG-R or NPG+. www.evanscooling.com;)
I'm going to say if you still have a magnesium cover, go to the dealership and get that bad boy changed. There is a recall on that for the very reason you just stated.Originally posted by mscottiel

the nice thing about mag. covers is the weight savings on the motor. it is not alot but everything helps. if you want to keep the mag. covers get the evans coolant.
