rad coolant flush

[petrified.rabbit]

I should have said, most cars stock use a 195
I use a 180 in my car. I find that I get much worse gas mileage with the 160 because the car is constantly in open loop

yeah, i can see that with a tiny 4 banger, i usually use a 160 in vr6 vw's, the tend to run so hot with the big engine stuff in the little compartment you can cooks eggs on the hood..

but there is ruber around the metal, em i supost to take it of. i will try tomorow

[ontarian_frog]

the plug is not on the bottom but on the passenger side, near the bottom of the radiator and you should only need a wrench. It's on the black plastic tank of the rad, the plug is black and plastic also. It has the shape of a nut.
