Hello,
Basically I'm flushing red coolant from my ELXR6 and adding Green Nulon Long Life Concentrated Anti-Freeze/Boil/Corrosion stuff to it.
To flush the system, I set the heater to hot and then I opened the overflow cap and undid the radiator bung and let it drain. I then undid the thermostat hose and put a hose through it until it was clear.. I then undid the thermostat housing and stuck a house in there and did the radiator bung up, and flushed it until it was clear.. I then undid the bung and drained all the water. Is that the correct way to flush the ENTIRE engine of this red stuff? (This is where I left it tonight).
My next problem is how much coolant to add. I have a total of 16 litre capacity in my cool system, including heater.
I have Green Nulon Long Life Concentrated Anti-Freeze/Boil/Corrosion in a 2.5 litre bottle. The manual says to add a ratio of 35% (5.6 litres) to 65% water (10.4 litres). Now does this mean I need to buy another 2.5litre container of this nulon stuff?
The back of the nulon container says:
Protection Level Standard - 2.5 Litres to raditaor then add 5 litres of water - mix ratio 33% - make 7.5 litres.
So do I buy 5 litres of Nulon and add 11 litres of water, which is a 32% to 68% ratio.
In otherwords.. is it safe for me to just put 5 litres and have a 32/68 ratio rather than the manual specified 35/65 ?
Thanks!!!
