    This coolant smells

    After setting up my new sharp supermini in my garage it seems that the RUSTLICK coolant i used is going rancid already. Learning as we go here. Is 6 mounths as long as it'll last? I used an airaider like sharp suggested. Is there a recommendation for a coolant that will last longer since i don't use it daily and for now does more sitting than working?

    we just changed from houghton to Oemetra, and the difference is amazing. No more yellow funk on the walls of the machine, and all for a similar price. we pay $1100 CDN for a 55 gallon drum. So around $100 for the 5 gallon pail. It's been stable for us. We are using the Novamet AL
