Don't start it and flat tow it behind a motor home.



I don't see any tech here so I moved it to the classifieds.

Dexcool? Really?

Do your headgaskets every 120k, flush your rad once a year. Keep an eye on your front DS. These cars are pretty robust. What kills them is sleeves moving which usually happens after the headgaskets go. 300 is probably a stretch but I see them with over 240 all the time.
