Coolant Flush/Replacement/Conversion

If you’re concerned about excess water in the system reducing the amount of overall coolant and thus increasing the freeze point, just do one more normal drain/fill and you’re golden.

Default Coolant Flush/Replacement/Conversion

If you’re concerned about excess water in the system reducing the amount of overall coolant and thus increasing the freeze point, just do one more normal drain/fill and you’re golden.

If freeze point isn’t a concern, just lubrication, throw a bottle of water wetter in. It’s pretty normal for folks to run distilled water + water wetter and it’s totally fine. Water wetter requires more frequent replacement though, so I recommend just doing another drain/fill with 50/50 blue like I mentioned above.

That's a good point. That should get me really close to where I wanted to be. Im not too concerned about the climate in my area. We occasionally get to 32 deg on some winter nights, but its never been enough to freeze pipes or affect cars. Also, the Z is usually in the garage. My main concern was lubrication for the new water pump that is buried behind the timing cover! I never paid close attention to Water Wetter, but I see that is also a viable option. I do like the increased life of the coolant replacement though, so ill pursue that.
Thanks!
