No it wont eat the head unless its left beyond date or km to change

Do not mix with any other brands or levels of protection that causes "eating away "

Do not use tap water ever !! unless your stranded then dump asap the aussie tap water is harsh on alloy etc, distilled water

Do not water down the mix it should be about 50 /50 or premixed

if you add redline water wetter or motul cool it helps the heat transfer

If you add any stop leak get it flushed out asap after you get home

ground ( engine) upgrades can help the process keeping corrosion away strange as it sounds and helps with spark, charging etc

never run water only unless its just to get it home

its a high performance engine so use a decent brand and grade of coolant

Service regular

The tech-alloy is fine

Green or red

Prestone from usa is great stuff as well

Motul

Nissan

And a few random brands just never mix them!!

as above. the biggest thing to watch out for are idiot mechanics that top up red coolant with green. gums up the radiator, you gotta replace it.. don't ask how I know!

if changing between red and green make sure you flush it out thoroughly.

besides that, red or green.. whatever floats your boat.
