So I have a 2005 and I know it has never been flushed, the service schedule in Haynes says to change at 6 years or 100k so I figure its about time just to be safe. But I want to check on a few things before I knock it out this week.
First off, I want to do a flush and take the t-stat out but in Haynes it says nothing about replacing the o rings but when I look it up on Google some people say to change the o rings when you put the t-stat back in. Thoughts?
Second since I want to do a whole flush and try to get everything out I plan on buying a few extra gallons of distilled water and pouring that through. But I also was reading that the water you use to flush wont come out of the system all the way, so I was thinking if I drain all coolant then flush the system and then pour some mixed antifreeze through till it comes out the drain will this work?
Thanks for any suggestions and reps to anyone who helps!
