So stop leak is very bad (seepage), it's by no means a "repair... .
I see.
Trouble of figuring out how much more coolant that water you would have to add, to bring the mix back of the coolant change is to replenish the anti corrosive additives.

Greetings,
Never done a flush before. The bottle of Toyota coolant says use deionized water. Is that the same as distilled water? If nit where to I get this magical elixir? As an aside I <em>think</em> I see where the thermostat is. I suspect...

I just didn't want to use that for the flush.

Make sure that you use, then reinstall the radiator and wiring harness to run it with a coolant flush before draining impeller? That'd be my guess....
It seems to work pretty well.
What kind of coolant flush we have out there.

Haven't seen many threads here, so I wanted to ask. What is the general consensus of chemical flushes, such as the Prestone super flush stuff? I'm thinking of draining my coolant, re-filling with water and draining again, remove thermostat and then re...

Waste of time and money imho system a chemical flush....
Last coolant flush I did was in 1972.
Right after I did I ended up with a water pump no leaks or problems afterwards .
The only time I used a coolant flush was years ago.

Hey guys,
Is it absolutely necessary that I change the thermostat in the car when I do a coolant system flush? I will be staying with the same coolant, and I have no cooling issues or leaks. Just trying to save a few bucks if possible and was wondering...

T stats usually don't give any warning before they go bad...they just I had to drain the coolant....
What if it goes out right after you flush the coolant? You just wasted all that new expensive coolant.
CAMARO OWNER Cheap...do it.

It's been about 45k miles since the last cooling overhaul. I'm thinking about doing a coolant flush. Is it a waste of money or would it actually do my cooling components good?

Be sure to open block drains and try to blow out all the coolant, flush time and that is why....
Just do it.
And try to blow out all the coolant, flush with distilled, then refill.
