ive used that prestone kit b4 and it works like a charm. its only 15 bucks from what i remember and you can use it 100 times. GL

 

I thought so, but you have to cut into your hoses and when I did it I just left it on the car! I think that is what it is meant for???

 

you know what, i havnt done it to my monte yet, when i do ill give you some refresher details.

the last time i did a flush i was still driving a lumina. im sure its time

 

Yeah just leave it in the hose, maybe check the hose clamps and cap for tightness once in a while

 

thanks, do you think this is a good way to flush your rad then? I know some of the other members recommend using distilled water! hopefully more members will be able to give their opinion on this, thanks

 

i just used a hose.

if you live in a city use the hose.

if you live in the boonys check how brown your water is b4 using a hose.

or you can buy a 5 gallong buck-o-water

GL save yourself 45 bucks. i think most places charge like 60 for a fush and fill, then charge you extra for dex-cool....plus tax...plus a disposal fee...will that be cash or credit please.

 

it works very well, if you're concerned about the water quality in your area just flush with a couple gallons of distilled water after using the hose to get it cleaned. When you refill with antifreeze there will already be some distilled water left in the cooling system, add 1/2 the capacity of the cooling system with coolant and top off with distilled water. should be good to go.

 

most defiantly, when you refill i would use bottled water.

i usually just buy 50/50 casue i add a little at a time, but if your doing the whole shabam, you'll probly need more than a gallon.

 

thanks to all of you for your input....

 

my mechanics use cascade. They drian the system fill with tap water add cascade drive 10 miles drain the system flush with tap water, remove thermostat flush with water until clear, drain, reinstall thermostat and refill with the green stuff.
