Moderators BarManBean Posted March 20, 2012 Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2012 Anyone backflush their coolant system with a hose when they do a change? If so, what is the total capacity of the coolant system including what would be circulating around, not just the tank/radiator?

mwm5094 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 For some reason I think a bottle of the Subaru Long Life is enough for a flush. I think they are 1 gal. could be totally wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators BarManBean Posted March 20, 2012 Author Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2012 So whole system would be ~2 gallons then? Can anyone confirm? I have a gallon of the subaru stuff and would like to do a backflush instead of draining and adding a 50/50 mix if possible. Don't see any reason not to do it that way, but really should know the total capacity to get the mix right.

Moderators BarManBean Posted March 20, 2012 Author Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2012 if you're short, just pee in it I'll eat a bunch of asparagus and then pee in it. I hear that gets rid of the "smelly feet" smell in the cabin. "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
