[s-cars] What coolant to use? other questions

[Tom Green]

Ivan,

Yes, the Lubro-Moly products are great.  The difficult part is flushing
everything out after use since there is no good way to pressure flush-
just drain and fill and drain and fill ...

I suppose you saw white deposits on aluminum parts (corrosion) .  I
would only be concerned if I saw lots of rust and sediment, as this is
what the cleaners target.  They aren't going to clean up aluminum for
fear of perforating the radiator, unless it's a place that sells  
radiators. ;-)

The fresh water and cleaner is the best way for a diy cleaning.   The
cleaner directions will direct how long you can leave it in.  If you  
drain
into a container you can see any sediment or scale that was removed
and then know if the  cleaning was worthwhile.

I always wonder why all those new hoses are on the shelf instead of
installed as I pour in $25 of new coolant when I hate surprises so  
much. :-)
