Green? Orange?? Does it matter?
I plan on running a 50/50 mix when I get the Mishimoto radiator from Maximum95 in the next week or so. Why? I’m thinking that because of where I live in SoCal, the coldest it’s gotten in recent memory was 30*. So, based on that, little to no chance of freezing/cracking as part of the antifreeze/coolant equation I would think.
And maybe I should consider going from the Mishimoto 180 thermostat to a higher temperature one (200? 210?, IDK). Need advice, past experiences and recommendations there…
I’ll probably use the same stock fan. It seems to work just fine so I’m not concerned enough there to warrant extra $$$.
I do have a question though:
To do a complete flush, correctly and entirely, how do I drain the block? Is there a plug or seal? The radiator is easy enough (just open the draincock, remove upper & lower hoses, empty overflow reservoir and let the sucker drain and drip till it doesn’t!).
