Chase Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 OK, heard earlier that there is (supposedly) some cold weather coming shortly and we may be in for a chilly winter. With this in mind, does everyone have sufficient antifreeze in their coolant? Anyone what the mixture should be and what the correct fluid to use/not use is?

supra dan Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 how do you actually drain and flush the system? just empty the rad and refill? is the forlife ready mixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Quoting the manual:- Use a good brand of ethylene-glycol base coolant and mix it according to the manufacturer's directions. Using coolant which includes more than 50% ethylene-glycol (but not more than 70%) is recommended. NOTICE:- Do not use alcohol type coolant. The coolant should be mixed with demineralized water or distilled water. Personnally I use 4life all year round but it is a bit expensive. EDITED to say 4life comes premixed.
