[C320-list] Antifreeze

[Wash, Steve]

Hi,

I just changed mine before our trip to winter storage.

I drained 13.5 cups (3.2 liters) from the system and got 10.5 (2.5 liters) back in (reservoir on engine).

During the 5 hour trip it sucked in about 2 cups from the overflow.  The reservoir has remained full to the filler.  So, I'm up to 2.96 liters.

I used a pre-mixed 50% Dexcool (red).  

Buying a gallon of it was plenty and will leave you with a little extra for topping off.

Our engine is the 3YM30.

Hope this helps.

Steve

What about the coolant in the piping to and in the water heater heat exchanger?
