Default radiator additive question

'03 Disco 45K miles. part time daily driver.

multiple part question:

1. I just bought some Purple Ice additive and was wondering how imparitive it is to "start with fresh antifreeze?"

2. Can I do a partial "refresh" with a turkey baster like I did my brake fluid or do I need a full flush to do any good?

and

3. How easy is a radiator flush, and what do I do with the old fluid?

Thanks guys,

-BigUgly

You can't really flush your D2 so the easiest thing to do is to pull a line from the t/stat, drain off what you can and throw a fresh galloen of Dexcool in.
By the way, that Royal Ice is a great product.

Thanks Mike,

will running the vehicle after refilling it pull all the air out of the system then? I can put the whole bottle of PurpleIce in, can't I?
