You can do that, but use distilled water. Remove the radiator cap and pour distilled water into the radiator until full. Replace the cap, then start up the vehicle and let it run for 10 to 15 minutes. This will work the distilled water into the engine, flushing out any loose debris or corrosion along with the last of the old antifreeze. It’s important to watch your engine heat and be ready to turn off the engine if it starts warming above C. Also don’t actually drive the vehicle, just idle. Then add your coolant per the manual capacity recommendation.
A typical drain and fill takes 1.3 gallons, but I would have more on hand to be safe. Your manual also has the capacities listed. You basically stop when the fluid is no longer being pulled into the system, as is shown in this video.
Love the tutorial. Some may want to check if they can crack the wing nut from the top to avoid jacking the cad. Also as a noob, I find crawling on the floor to ensure I aligned with the jack pt helpful
aye, im using alldata but i still watch yt videos for the visuals 😂 thanks clean vid
If I want to superflush the system, I just need to run water through it 2-4 times right?

@@Stimwalt That was a quick response! Thank you! I do hate the location of everything on this car though...it's a pain in the arse!
@@Stimwalthow do I know when it’s almost above c? It only has noti light for when it’s cold just go by mins huh
How do you know how much coolant to add and when to stop ?

Simple n easy tutorial. Just what I needed to do for this coming summer time. Got yourself a sub!
Glad you enjoyed it. Keep doing it yourself.
driving to phoenix in 115 F oh yeah.
How much litres it takes to fill completely?
Close the cap at bottom once empty before putting in coolant in burpee?
You didn’t have to fill from the reservoir?
Thanks I’m gonna do mine hehe
I can't build a shelf from Ikea.
Cars are just nuts and bolts bud.
6:36 I love lamp
How often would you do this
30,000 miles
Why did you fill the reservoir fluid before you did the drain and fill????
Because the reservoir is ‘overflow’
Fantastic video, as always.
Thanks bud
