I have got one canister of PEAK Full Force (water(7732-18-5), Ethylene Glycol(107-21-1), Diethylene Glycol(111-46-6), Denatonium Benzonate(3734-33-6) and Proprietary inhibitors) + 2 canisters of PEAK (free of 2-EHA, silicate, nitrite, borate, and amines. Compatible with any color or type of antifreeze and coolant.) Now I think if I could disconnect the radiator and the heater core, loop inlet and outlet(heater core) and apply water from garden hose to the lower or upper radiator hose inlet to rinse the old coolant out of the engine(instead of using the air - but I am still not sure if it works this way).
-
Could you tell us what brand and specific type of premixed coolant you intend using? .
-
As I said - my coolant is already premixed. So if the manufacturer of that coolant says it works with all makes and models(which means I can mix it up) - someone would definitely sue them if it wouldn't work then.
-
I would start by testing the battery health and then test for parasitic drain - I have had my 2017 Sport go four weeks without the need to keep it on a tender, but don't know what the max time would be. The solar panel on the dashboard will work - just need to find a connection inside the cabin that is always hot. I wouldn't consider any recommendations/suggestion from the type of person that disputes the moon landing.
-
??? Really... there has gotta be a better way.... My '24 Edge WILL run the battery down in a matter of 2-3weeks.. so I do need a solar charge method... I would love to be able to leave the panel on the dash and keep all the wireing INSIDE the car... ? we put men on the moon ??? right.. or that is being disputed now too.. but really team.. someone must have figged this out.. little help here. . tia

That is definitely not the way to go. There is no one coolant for all cars. As @1004ron suggested, is the best way to go. Drain/fill with distilled water several times until you have mostly distilled water, then drain and fill with concentrated coolant. Depending on you engine, fill half the coolant capacity with concentrate. Between drain/refill cycles, make sure to run the engine until it warms up to ensure complete mix.
-
I will not trust someone working on my car. I used to work as a car mechanic for years. Now I'm not sure which way is the best to get rid of the old coolant and looks like no one knows(here and YT). So probably I will drain 1 gallon and add 1 gallon premixed I got(it says fits for all cars)...
-
Don't count me in on being a good input on a proper coolant flush. But this seems like a good opportunity to take it to Jiffy Lube and have them do it for you. I never use Jiffy lube for anything, but they seem to be on their game when it comes to this. Years ago, they did a coolant flush on my wife's Mazda 626 and it was well worth the money. Or take it to the dealer and hope they do it right?
-
probably, but I already bought premixed coolant and can't return it. So I am looking for the best way to push the old coolant out(I do have a vacuum tool to fill it). I can use a big compressor(like 20 Gal) but i don't think I need it because I will not apply more than 18-20psi at the time. I am still not sure about the best way: I have an air adapter to the reservoir, I can disconnect the heater core hoses, plug one pipe on the water outlet and provide pressure to the other one(keeping the radiator drain plug open), I can easily take the thermostat out...
-
@NzP That's a whole lot of unnecessary work removing the thermostat. The typical home size compressor can provide the pressure but not the volume needed to displace the coolant residing in the engine block - I used a leak blower which was more successful but also cant remove all the coolant. Flushing with distilled water and then adding concentrate to account for the remaining distilled water in the block is a more effective option.
