replacing radiator need flushing?
Hi,
im replacing my stock radiator to a mishimoto unit. However, i was wondering if i should do a complete flush before prior to the new radiator. I was looking at removing all the scaling, sludge and impurities that were already there before i slap the mishimoto on. Any advice?

its up to you, its not really needed unless you see a bunch of crap floating around your old coolant.
Use distilled water when flushing or mixing in new coolant only. |
