Currently i find that the Mayhems Pastel to be very good. Running past a year of use rn so should probably check it again. 

 

I'm using the Pastel Orange and haven't had any bad luck with it. 

 

You could always go distilled + dye since you can control intensity of the colour.

Which one will be a better option?

I stick with Pastel (or concentrate) tbh. Comes with the anti corrosive stuff pre-mixed but there isn't really much of a difference between distilled + dyed and concentrate solutions going staining or clogging.

Will they clog?

How fast does the coolant run out?

No, they shouldn't clog.

It doesn't run out. But you should renew your coolant at least once every 6 months to a year.

The fluid should not get hot enough to cause the water/fluid to evaporate, therefore shouldn't run out but as stated above it is advised to change it every 6 months to a year to reduce any problems such as growth, corrosion, etc.

 

The fluid may look like the level is reducing through the first month but this is due to air pockets moving around and out of the system.
