have a 2005 vibe 113,000. going to do a coolant flush. seems to have been done before as the fluid is green in there.
question is: has anyone used compressed air through the heater core to flush most of the distilled water out of the system after flushing by running the engine? I read about this on here how you hook up vinyl hose to the top and bottom heater core hoses, blow compressed air through, hook up one of the original hoses back on and blow more air through to drain the engine block as best as possible, and then button everything back up and refill.
since the fluid is green i wanted to be sure its flushed as best as possible and I was leaning toward zerex asian 50/50 to refill unless theres a better/easier way.. People have mentioned prestone coolant as well.... i just dont know what to replace this green fluid with at this point or if it really matters all that much.
this is beating a dead horse, just curious if anyone tried the compressed air like this and what fluid they went with afterwards.
