If it was done at the dealer. It’s the new BMW green HT-12 coolant that they are putting in all BMW’s now. It’s Vavoline not Prestoneans is only sold in Europe or through BMW. This is a required service change as the new coolant will not allow electrolysis between dissimilar metals. The blue is the older type and isn’t as efficient as the new green. Just FYI, you did a service that wasn’t needed.

true. it's called LC-18 which uses Si-OAT formulation. BMW uses Frostox HT-12 for LC-18 but it's equivalent to Glysantin G40 (VW G12++) and could be mixed with GG40 (VW G13). BMW LC-87 (blue) uses HOAT formulation Glysantin G48 (VW G11) but the newer LC-18 could be used as a replacement. what he drained is most likely LC-18

unless you run the engine to temperature with the distilled water and have the heater on i don't think the bleed procedure would circulate into the heater core, so there was probably a fair bit of green coolant still in the heater.

When you do the bleeding procedure, the temp gauge inside the car should be maxed out at 89°F or 28°C to open the heater core valve to get trapped air *if there is any* out of the whole cooling system, so im pretty positive he got all the green coolant out.

@@edcardiy Don't know if you'll know answer for this, but the coolant in the main engine reservoir is yellowed, but appears green if light shone through at an angle. The coolant in the charged air system and intercooler is green like new (i got some from BMW yesterday for comparison). Is it likely the yellowed coolant is like this because it is as old as the car (5 years), or is more likely someone simply didn't flush enough before using non standard coolant in there which was yellow? FYI, the coolant is correct pH, looks completely clear and is free from milky colour, and has no bits or sediments in it. So on the surface i'm not thinking there is a serious problem. But am having the yellowed coolant changed for new by BMW tomorrow. Will obtain a sample and have it analysed as well for peace of mind. Oh, and the engine operating temp is typical during a decent drive.

I just looked this up online and checked the coolant I just purchased. It seems that Prestone coolant is now formulated for all cars, so no need to pay more for the BMW logo on the bottle. This is similar to the claim that only BMW transmission fluid can be used in older cars, which is false. At one time BMW used Esso LT71141 semi-synthetic ATF for it's anti-foaming properties. Valvoline came out with an ATF about 5-6 years later which is still made and is full synthetic. It costs about 1/6 the cost of the BMW ATF and is actually somewhat superior because of its full synthetic nature. Yes, it does need to be changed at about 80,000-100,000 miles vs the "lifetime" BMW fluid but ZF transmission experts say the BMW "lifetime" claim is not true. It will last about 150,000 miles before it deteriorates enough to cause slow but sure damage to the transmission.

Both closed, Bleed the water then flush.

Синяя BMW LC-87 хуже, чем зелёная BMW LC-18 😁

This does not work for a 2013 BMW 335i F30. My car doesn’t have an auxiliary coolant radiator near the wheel.

Raul Martinez, Sorry for the delay, I have checked all 2013 BMW F30 335i online and they all have aux radiator, I even checked FCP Euro.com and they have auxiliary radiator part for your car, Do you have any vents on your fender liner on the driver's side front wheel? If you have then you have aux radiator. More DIY & Mods coming soon, Please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE and Thanks for watching!!!👍

@@edcardiy Hello Ed. Thank you for replying. I went to realoem and it looks like only M Sport models have an auxiliary radiator. Maybe BMW decided to include it in all models after that year but I will have to double check. The could explain why my model didn't have an auxiliary radiator. All models do have an engine oil cooler which is located on the passenger side for North American models.

@@edcardiy no because there are about 5l of pure water in the engine after you drain the radiator. Adding 50/50 mix in top of that will make it 30/70 coolant/water mix

So you added 50/50 mix to a system full of distilled water….you do not have anywhere near 50/50 coolant mix now

mark, All distilled water have been drained, maybe a bit still in the system, but it doesn't matter, it will get mixed with the new 50/50 mixed coolant, and ratio will still be OK. More DIY & Mods coming soon, Please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE and Thanks for watching!!!👍

Hi Z-Man, Yes it was Prestone coolant and I don't want to have any problem about internal corrosion in the engine because it's not the compatible BMW coolant. More DIY & Mods coming soon. Please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE and Thanks for watching!!!👍

That place does not remove enough coolant fast enough......

In the engine 🤷‍♂️

You forgot to take the engine and the transmission out.

How much distilled water did you need?

Jay C, I've used about 3 liters of distilled water (total 6 liters w/ 50% bmw coolant mix), it all depends on how much your car needs, check level of coolant reservoir and add if necessary. More DIY & Mods coming soon, Please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE and Thanks for watching!!!👍
