Best game plan - have it professional flushed. I have tried twice and can only get about 2 gallons out. So some coolant seems to always remain in the system.
An '01's coolant would have been green from the factory, they switched to the pink stuff a couple of year later................ It is probably the factory fill. But after 8 years, you should consider changing it.
