Exactly what I am thinking. But why use distilled for just flushing? When my Yukon got trans fluid contamination, the trans shop used simple green and water to flush out the system. I was thinking purple power as it's a great degreaser. Just run it thru with tap water with car running to warm it up, heater on of course to get the heater core. Maybe do this a few times and clean out the overflow too. After it's clean, then fill it up with the recommended coolant 50/50.
It's just the process I was thinking. Also, since this is the first mid engine I ever worked on, is there a bottom hose on the radiator? I am assuming in front of the car? Please disregard the noobness in my questions.
