Well, I was wondering about this but like others have brought up...was concerned about residue left over from one having na effect on the other?
I can't see ever getting a cooling system completely flushed of one or the other.
My complete cooling systems was new and fresh (except the heater core) when I put this engine in 6 years ago and it has never had a cooling issue. The engine will maintain 180 degrees on a 100 degree day, idling in traffic with the AC on with just a 50\50 mix of off the shelf antifreeze.
Here's what made me think of this more than anything, I know people dragging their cars home from OUSCI right now and traveling into sub freezing temps along the way. Is the only option running straight water at OUSCI and then adding antifreeze back to the system for the trip home in the trailer?
It is time for a flush on new coolant though so I'm reviewing my options now. Thanks for all of the input and please keep it coming.
