coolant change


Recommended Posts

I didn't change my coolant until I replaced the timing belt at 95,000 miles.

 

I just refilled it with 50/50 mix of Prestone and water.

305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).  CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

I thought it could go that long too. I will check level when cold :)

 

Coolant is a PITA. No one wants to take it.

Unclamp the lower radiator hose and take off the two radiator caps, let it drain. replace the rad cap and lower hose, and fill via the turbo resevior, burb system as you fill by squeezing the upper and lower rad hose, stop when it starts to overflow at res, check the level AT the turbo res tank the next day
