I'm planning on servicing my cooling system real soon. What is BITOG's input on these "power flush" machines that are used by dealerships? I actually saw one being used and it looks really cool...but at the same time, I also wondered, does it really get ALL of the coolant out?
I can get it done for fairly cheap...however, I would rather pay someone to do this somewhat messy job...but at the same time, I do have the mechanical knowledge to do the flush myself...i.e. pull drain plug, fill with dis-stilled and keep running it until clear water comes out...which one would keep my cooling system happier? Using the power flush machine that the dealerships use? Or flushing the traditional way?
