Remember If you dump any automotive fluids on your property you are liable and can be cited for that (unlikely). Most of the time people won't know if you do that, but if you don't get along with your neighbor they will most likely turn you in. Trust me I have seen this a lot! Also ethylene glycol is bad for pets, yeah who cares about the stray that poops in your yard, but your chances to get a date with the cute neighbor around the corner would be diminished if her "tinkerbell" gets out, drinks the green stuff and

As for flushing, Make sure you get as much of the "flush" water out before you add the new coolant, maybe even flush with a gallon of Deionized water. Crank the engine a few times for the water pump to turn and get the old crap out.

Water in the coolant system is something that is frequently overlooked, a lot of people suggest using distilled water, I thought that water that is Deionized and filtered with reverse osmosis would be better. Read the label on the gallon jug. Distilation does not remove dissolved salts as well as deionization and reverse osmosis. The more salts in the system, the more corrosive the water will be. Out on the west coast this is of real concern, water that is delivered to the home can be very hard and have massive amounts alkalinity and hardness, these things will eat freeze plugs in no time.

I learned the hard way, the old exlploder had massive corrosion in the cooling jackets and freeze plugs, cool to look at, but to keep running

I will be switching over to toyota red at 60K on my truck, I have not looked at it yet, but I was wondering, is it pre- mixed or do you need to dilute before use?

 

you need to dilute it before use
