Default Anti-Freeze

I need to add some antifreeze because mine is a little low. It is an orange/pink color so I am guessing it is the original O.A.T. antifreeze. I have seen that Dexcool causes a lot of problems. My question is if anyone has tried the hybrid O.A.T. From what I can tell, it has the same benefits as O.A.T. without the problems of clogging.

I was looking at that one as well due to its compatibility with all types of coolant.

Any reason not to use the pre-dilluted version? I usually get concentrated and mix with distilled water.

when you flush your system there will be water in the system that you can not drain. If you add 50/50 mix to it you will be diluting the mix. I add full strength coolant equal to 1/2 the capacity of the system, then top off with water. This results in a 50/50 mix.

Pinky Toe flushed his with a leaf blower. I was going to try that but my blower carb died so I used your method. But a leaf blower could work.

I like the leaf blower idea. I flushed mine when I had the radiator out. I just blew into the top hose with my mouth.
