Antifreeze Fluid Flush
I just bought a bottle of Purple Ice radiator additive.
Any water/antifreeze recommended fluid combination? Temperature here wont reach below 5°c and wont get higher than 27°c.

now on a full coolant flush. what should i use? ive been looking around in the threads and havent seen any DIY coolant flush.
should i just use the nissan brand, distilled water and antifreeze, all 50/50?
i guess this link would have most of the answers. its a DIY to replace rad hoses but i also has what he used to refill the rad and how to bleed the system. thats the toughest part.

Water Wetter's and things like that do show slight advantages, however they are just slight. As for the process mix these products as the manafacter recommends. As for the coolant flush... its pretty straight forward.
