July 17, 20169 yr Hyundai calls for coolant replacement after 60 and every 30 after. I'm at 90 and it was flushed at 60. Should I do it? I'm thinking I should just wait until 120
July 18, 20169 yr I think glass coverage and towing adds around 20$ every 6 months for me, that is deductible waived for the glass, and I've got a 500$ deductible.

I'm thinking I should just wait until 120 I drain a gallon every year and add a fresh gallon on all my vehicles. The coolant is as new as it can be.

I'll have to double check. My agent is pretty good at advising me on the no brainers andkeeping me away from the crap.
July 18, 20169 yr I have to say, this Hyundai is a joy to do maintenance on. Most things are well thought out and there is space to work. I feel like I can replace most anything with my current tool set.
July 18, 20169 yr Measure your coolant. If it tests fine and isn't contaminated I see no reason in changing it. If either of the other two conditions exist I'd change it completely.

July 18, 20169 yr If your coolant is really bad, the best way to clean your system is run straight distilled water. You use it on place of your coolant for a short time. It will have to be changed frequently until all the garbage that has cleated in various points through out your cooling system have been reabsorbed into the water. At 60k it should not be very contaminated. I did this to my beetle and it took about a month until the distilled water was almost a clean as used as fresh.
July 18, 20169 yr I have a little specific gravity tester. If it is effective for the temp I need and not dirty fuck it. If it isn't it gets "flushed". Quotes are because I don't use the mechanic term but a logical one. Pull the last return hose from the system so it goes down the drain, add a water source to the input so that it doesn't run dry. Run the engine until you have only water coming through. Need to make sure you have removed or bypassed your thermostat though so it actually flows. Also the technique I used to change from dexuncool to real antifreeze. No orange bullshit in my car.

Rumors here in Europe are that the coup was started by the President to enable the removal of his opposition. He needs to be removed from power...bad.

July 18, 20169 yr September we are having a gun shoot weekend. I should have lots of pictures for you guys.

July 18, 20169 yr All this talk about windshields and Gavin broke the Lincoln's windshield yesterday. I just replaced it last year too.
