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.
