Is it safe to use coolant in chinese Silver radiator

[AsimM]

I installed new silver radiator with plastic tanks in Mehran. I want to use Suzuki Long Life Coolant, premixed (3:1) available at Suzuki Dealership. Is it safe to use this coolant, as the guy who sold and installed radiator asked me not to use coolant in this radiator, and using coolant will destroy metal.

There is no harm . Using coolant for last 3 years.

Not using a proper coolant will harm your radiator and your engine.

So basically you are saying that all the automobile manufacturer's are fool's who encourage the use of coolant.
No matter what..
A proper coolant must be used in a car's cooling system coolant does many job's first it works as a anti-freeze then it stops rust and cavitation in the system keeps the water pump lubricated keeps the thermostat valve functioning properly and many more.....
Without using proper coolant one would be having a direct fan and no thermostat valve in the cooling system soon.

You should use coolant. It prevents rusting in cooling system.

If it were copper or aluminum radiator I would not have posted this question.

I was told the same thing when I installed a Chinese silver radiator in my alto 660cc 2001. I personally experienced water leakage from heater core as I used coolant and didn't understand at that time as heater core was also of silver material.
We need to research on what type of coolant if any would be suitable for this type of radiator, not any coolant can be used otherwise radiator will leak.

Green coolant is your conventional coolant (Ethylene Glycol base) and is the most common type of coolant found.
Red coolant is typically has a base of Organic Acid Technology which has a different chemical makeup of green coolant and is designed to be suitable for aluminium radiators. Red coolant is often silicate and phosphate free for use in later Japanese and Euro vehicles.
Blue coolant is usually an Organic Acid Technology base and what makes it different from red coolant is that they’re normally Borate free which is a requirement for modern day Japanese vehicles that are supplied with blue coolant from factory.
Yellow or Orange coolants are the latest in technology and are normally a universal product. Some universal coolants will allow top up mixing to a certain percentage of the overall capacity of the cooling system, so it’s important to keep this in mind when topping up.
