I just put 215 50R 17 Nexen 5000 on my girlfriends 05 Vibe. Acceptable road noise and i couldnt beat the price $84 per tire mounted and balanced.

Went to Advance Auto Parts and bought a $3 siphon hose and drianed the overflow bottle, worked great.

When i drained it the color was pink, Isnt that Toyota antifreeze? Dex Crud is orange?

Thank you for all the replies!Is there a reason why everyone likes Prestone? and How do you drian the overflow bottle? The darn thing is molded into the fan shroud. Is Prestone a better low silicate coolant? Thanks for all the replys, I'm a Ford guy and this is my girlfriends car so I'm learning how...

Thank you for the reply, Thats what I'm going to do. I've heard too many bad tales about the Dex Crud.

I have a couple of 4x6 blocks that i pull the girlfriends Vibe up on. I can slide the drain pan under and reach the drain plug just fine. I change the oil filter from the engine compartment. 05, 1.8 spin on filter.

I live in Wichita Ks and picked up a cabin filter for $12.49 @ O'Reilly Automotive. its there store brand Micro Guard. Auto Clone and Advance Auto Parts wanted over $30 bucks. Local Pontiac dealer wanted $53 bucks!

Howdy all!My girlfriend has a 05 2wd Vibe, 97,000 + miles. I want to flush and fill the cooling system. It has Dex Cool in it, do i have to replace with Dex Cool? I was hoping that if i do a good job flushing the system i could go back in with 5 yr long life coolant? Thank you for your reply in adva...
