I have a 2000 Ford Focus with 72,000 miles on it. I got the car at 49,000 miles on it. So far the only thing I've neglected to maintain is the cooling system. The radiator leaks coolant VERY slowly. The problem is with the radiator itself so I'm going to be changing the radiator itself. But before replacing the radiator I'd like to flush the cooling system THEN add the new radiator.
The coolant has a greenish/brownish color. Definitely time to go. Bought some Prestone Extended Coolant along with some Redline Water Wetter. I figured it might be a good idea to use some sort of product to make sure all the dirt and grime is completely out of the cooling system. Which leads me to my question.
I don't think the cooling system is in severe condition. The leak meant that I have been adding new water and coolant periodically. So it has been getting SOME new coolant. But I'm not sure whether to use Super Cleaner or Super Flush. What's the difference between the two? It seems that the Cleaner is meant to be used for much more severe systems.
