at least itdoesnt look like mine did it was orange with rust i guess everytime i payed to have it done they never really did it just topped it off with coolant the easyeasy thing ive found is remove the drainage plug from the bottom of your radiator. drain out everything u can. the flush it with a hose from the fill area. once the water runs clean put the stop back in and fill er up with just water and take a 10 to 15 min drive on the freeway or a country road to warm the motor up so the clean water can get in the motor. go home let the motor sit till its cooled down drain again and do it a few times depending on how bad it looks. then after your satsifyed put in as much coolant as your arena needs. and fill with water. the coolant depends on where u live i know do about 20-30 percent her in cali but it also never gets ne where near freezeing here some places ive heard u run closer to 80%. hope this helps
