Coolant question/tpms

kentman4 · Thu May 21, 2015 4:21 am

I checked my coolant today and noticed that It was very low. I still can see fluid but it is definitely below the "low" line. My nearest Suzuki dealership is about 90 miles away. I thought about driving there to purchase the fluid, but then I remembered that I have purchased a few things for my grand Vitara from a very close Suzuki Motorcycle dealership. So that led me to think, could the Suzuki Coolant for cars and motorcycles be the same? They sell Suzuki coolant which is why I asked. Also my tpms light is on. It says "service tpms" and it's driving me up the wall. I checked all tires and two were below the 38psi and now I've filled them up, but the light is still flashing proudly at me.

The Kizashi uses the Super Long Life coolant that is being used in a number of Asian cars these days. It's the blue coolant. If the motorcycle dealer has that, then I think it should be okay to use. Otherwise, I'd get the proper coolant from another source. I personally wouldn't drive 90 miles for a coolant that is very likely formulated the same as another Super Long Life coolant. In fact, aftermarket brands also offer it.
This product even explicitly names Suzuki as a vehicle it's formulated for.

Thanks. I found the part number for it. It's 990A0-02000 and its carried at my nearest Suzuki Cycle dealer for $9.00 a quart.

Great. Thanks for the part number. I also have Suzuki motorcycle dealers closer to me than Suzuki Auto Service Dealers.
For a top-off, I think this quart would be ideal. For a flush and refill, I'd be more inclined to use the Beck/Arnley stuff.

No problem. I didn't think before I posted, but usually small things like push pins and fluids can be found at Motorcycle dealers and Parts. I forgot that I usually call my nearest dealer to ask for certain part numbers. Then I just call to see if Suzuki Cycles has it in stock.

You could just add water as long as it isn't too low. Would raise your freezing point from -40 to -35.

You really should look into why though, that level shouldn't normally drop.

My TPMS is asking for service as well. It will not go away.

Is this the part number for the motorcycle antifreeze or is the part number the same both Kizashi & motorcycle the same?

Is there a B&M store that sells this?

@Redmed. I called a Suzuki automotive dealer and he gave me the part number 990A0-02000 for the Kizashi's coolant. Maybe Suzuki uses it in some motorcycles too.
