coolant drain vs flush
Hey guys,
I'm needing to take my '02 (45K) into the dealership to get some routine maintenace done. Before the winter sets in, I want to get new coolant. Everyone says to use the Toyota red, and I'm going to have the dealer put this in.
The big question is what are the benefits of having the system flushed vs simply drained. The cost is ~$50 vs $75. For a truck with under 50K, do I need the flush? Is it worth the extra $25 bucks?
Thanks yall

a dealership will probably have a flush machine and this goes inline with the coolant system. it will pump in fresh fluid while forcing the dirty fluid out. This is alot better way of doing it.
