My radiator fluid is trash, i need to replace. What is the best way to do it. Should the car be cold. hot. Running, off. I need to flush all the water of my car...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

Filling it up without the car is not enough coolant. You need to fill it to the top. Then run the car and fill it some more. At my shop we use these yellow funnel looking things that hold water until the radiator is done sucking. The coolant hoses have to open up and get the air out of the system to let water into the motor. I'm typing from my phone at work so if this seems difficult to read the sorry ill come fix it later.
