So I flushed my coolant today. Cost me all of about 20 bucks, and that includes the cost of a gallon of antifreeze, a gallon of distilled water, 5 bucks to my mechanic for him to dump it, and 4 bucks for a 5 gallon bucket to transport it over there.
Yup, drained the coolant, filled it back up with tap, and redrained it. Took those 5 gallons to the mechanic to dump. Then I opened the tap and just ran water through the system as it all drained out. Came out fresh as a daisy except for a little bit of rust smell. Feels good doing job right and saving money doing it yourself at the sametime. That deserves a chili
