Very Good Point, Thanks.

I just got off the phone from Pelican Parts. The Porsche coolant is around the same cost as Pentosin anyway, so I have the Porsche fluid ordered. I'm going to flush the system with distilled water a few times first.

Since I put standard gas station premix in, would you suggest additional removal/cleaning of the radiator? Wondering what to use there. I'll do a quick search here.

Thanks Again Jeff!
Tim

We use the Prestone cooling system cleaner when we need to clean out a system with a lot of crud in it from poor maintenance or an intermix:



After draining off this stuff, you will need a couple full system water flushes before adding the new coolant.
