I plan on mixing 50/50 here in Florida. the manual said to use drain plug from radiator to do easy flush. then do you flush it with water until clear and run engine till thermostat opens. I was told you will never get all the old fluid out. Any suggestions other than the block plugs. THANKS. I HAVE 64K MILES ON GREEN STUFF. HELLO ANYBODY

I usually flush with distilled water 3 times. I wait till the engine comes to operating temp, and I run the heater on full blast. Shut the car off, drain the water, refill and repeat. That seems to get most of the old coolant out.

DEpointfive0 and Jimbo370 like this.
