How To: Coolant Flush and Radiator Hose Replacement | Draining the Engine Block

Replacing the coolant, or anti-freeze, for most vehicles is an easy task. In a way, it's similar to an oil change; drain the old fluid and add fresh new coolant. Today we'll show how to drain coolant from the radiator and engine block. We'll also go ahead and replace the upper and lower radiator hoses. Lastly, we'll replenish the system with fresh coolant.

There are many different types of coolant on the market today. You can save a few bucks buying concentrated coolant, that typically requires mixing with water. (Some older vehicles may call for a 60/40 split.) As crazy as it seems, buying diluted coolant that is mixed with water, typically runs one to two dollars more. (Less coolant for more money...) but it saves you time from mixing the coolant and water.

Popular brands of coolant includes Peak, Prestone, AC Delco, Zerex, etc. I've been using Peak coolants for years with no issues. Many vehicles recommend using their specific coolant (Honda, Nissan, Subaru, Porsche, VW, BMW, etc.) If using something other than the factory-backed recommended coolant makes you nervous, your best bet, cost wise, may be purchasing a few gallons from the local dealer.

Lastly, always clean up any spilled coolant. Many animals, including dogs and cats, may lick the coolant. Ethylene glycol highly toxic if ingested.
