Hi All,
I'm going to be doing a coolant flush on my 2008 Pontiac Vibe. My plan is to drain as much coolant as I can from the radiator, block, and heater core, then fill up with distilled water 2-3 times until it comes out clean, then refill with coolant. I plan to measure how much coolant I get out at first (I assume it won't be 100%) to give me some idea how much water will be left in the system after the last flush so I can get the ratio right with concentrate. The manual says the coolant capacity is 6.9 quarts. My question is, does this include the fluid that's in the overflow tank, or just in the radiator/block/core?
Thanks in advance!
