Coolant change
#1
My car has 63,000 miles or so on it. I bought it used last year (begining of June) with 42,000 miles (wow I drive alot). Anyway, I went to change the coolant today, only to find out that the coolant looked perfectly good. It was bright green, with no rusty spots at all. I think it might have been changed already when the car was being prepped to be resold. I then looked in the owners manual, and then it said after 60K, once every 30K or 24 months. My question is, I only dumped the radiator. I will fill it back up with 50/50, but do I have to worry about dumping the block as it seems my coolant looks fine? While I'm at it, I'm gonna toss in some redline water wetter :-)
