///BHRpowered Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thinking of changing the coolant in the millenia. It's only got about 2k on the fluid but age wise its time for a change. Don't feel like going to dealership and leaving millenia outside so will just drain and refill. So what are people using? hoping for a 50/50 mix but brand/type would help.

///BHRpowered Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Ok fine don't respond. After consulting the FSM I went with a 50/50 mix of peak. Its closest to what is listed as recommended. T'is a thristy beast the millenia is. In the end I'm probably at a 35% coolant to 65% ratio of distilled water. Oddly enough the FSM lists as little as 20% coolant needed for temps above -16F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginph Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 When we changed the rad, the lower hose had some calcium in it. The thin tubes in the engine could be clogged with that! I dont think anyone put tap water in there, I didnt. Off the shelf coolants should have some calcium in them. Improper distillation I suppose.

///BHRpowered Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Just used the drain cock on bottom (with nice access hole cut I might add) took a bit longer then removing hose but got alot out. Oil cooler hoses had a bit more. Coolant and distilled bottled water worked perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
