I've done a search on coolants in this and other forums and found some good advice about what type of coolant to use. I am planning to change the coolant on my '05 ST (55k miles) and my '05 Jeep Liberty (17K miles) using Zerex G-05 coolant (meets the WSS-M97B51A1 and HOAT specs). Coolant in both is clear and bright with no cooling system symptoms or problems. I'm changing the fluid only because they are both now 5 years old. I can buy the Zerex locally, nearest Ford dealer is a 70 mile trip.
My questions:
I hate the thought of cutting a heater hose and inserting a plastic tee. Is a flush needed, or will a simple drain and refill do? What is the best way to most completely drain the system?
Thanks for the advice.
