Jim, i will take a picture of the bottle itself and add it to the original post.
but it was Zerex Extreme Life 5/150.

funny thing was when i was going to get it in the first time, guy asked me if id like prestone or zerex, i was liek ummm i dont know what zerex is, and ive heard of prestone, and it does say for every car. damn it, but now there wouldnt be any of these pictures or this discusion so its all good

for those of you that have an air compressor...

i'm not sure about how it cost but my mechanic has this tool that you screw in place of the coolant cap and use the air compressor to pressurize the system....

after its all pressurized you open a valve and the coolant is flushed out thru an attached hose ....

filling it up was just as easy....all the air was sucked out of the system...a hose was put into the coolant and the valve opened and all the coolant was sucked right into the system...pretty cool i thought...

my mechanic sd this was the best (and easiest) way to make sure that the system was totally flushed or filled correctly.

Cannot seem to find the instructions & pics for changing the coolant.

can someone direct me to them?

thanks

what do u mean u cant see them?

[lombo]

What I mean, is that there are no pics showing the instructions I'm expecting pics showing me where to find the drain plug, pisc showing how to go about getting a complete flush, may I'm reading this wrong, should there be a link?

thanks

Good info and definitely something to think about. It shouldn't be too difficult to fab something up....
