Coolant liqud

Hi there,

my Ten is running low on coolant and thought it could be good to replace the existing one, since god knows how long it has been there (Ive only had the bike for 4 months).

The Service Manual recommends:

"High-quality ethylene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion inhibitors for aluminum engines. Mixing ratio 1:1 (antifreeze:water)"

Can you recommend the coolant liquid you use on your ten?
'Castrol 17845600' seems like a good option, but does not say anything about being fine for aluminum radiators/engines:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Castrol-1784.../dp/B002QR94A2

Which one do you use?

Thanks

So do I. I figure Yamaha should know what's good for their own machinery.

At least, I hope so...
