Hi

I have heard there can be an issue with buying a JDM vehicle regarding the antifreeze needing to be changed.

 

Apparently it doesn't meet the specification required for our road/weather conditions & needs to be changed.

 

Has anyone else heard about this?

Interesting.

 

As Japanese winters tend to be colder that UK ones, especially in the southern UK, I would expect Japanese antifreeze to be more than capable of coping with UK winters.

 

However, of course, you will not know whether, and/or by how much, the antifreeze has been diluted.

 

Any decent garage should be able to measure your coolant mixture and assess its suitability / effectivity for an UK winter.
