As stated in the title.

 

gonna be a funn time

 

shoulda went with BHR coils...

 

I agree.
Other than that

 

Im thinking changing my transmission oil too. its only have 15k miles so.

 

what's in the rectangular box in front of the prestone, and the five bottles?

maybe should go in the dumb question thread

 

those bottles are transmission fluid and diff fluid Id say.
and that box looks like the cabin filters.

 

Looks like a good time.

 

Heh, looks like whats in my garage. 60,000 mile tune up approaching so I've been doing a fluid change every other day.

 

fresh oil every other day? How do you burn through fresh fluids so fast?

 

Not just oil, I did a tranny change a few days ago, doing diff tomorrow, and oil after that. Part of the 60K mile tuneup I was talking about...

 

Sure is an *** load of coolant

 

Klever me was going to put up a .jpg of One *** Load, and obviously missed the little note that
Google SafeSearch is "OFF"

Mein Gott! You don't wanna type that in!

One car, two cups......

 

What's with all the coolant and water?

You realize that the system only holds about 2 gallons when bone dry, right?

Also you won't want to add water to the 50/50 you've bought (which has water in it already).

 

You had me laughing.

 

I think hes flushing out the old gunk

 

psh shes a high class girl, she woulda been more happy with imported distilled water. Thats just cheap. Your gonna hear about this one. Buying distilled water at walmart is like buying her gas at walmart, its just shameful behavior.

Also I am pretty sure our system holds 10 - 11 quarts in the cooling system. So you did good! Especially if your going for the 25/75 mix. (I don't know what the coldest weather you see there is but here you only need protection down to 0 degrees).

 

Its the Mazda Zoom Zoom cleaner.

 

I ended up adding 2 gallons, and a bit from the 3rd gallon. Always good to have some extra in hand right?

 

You flush with a water hose.

 

Not a good idea ... you dont want the bacteria and deposits from town water mixing through your intercooler for long periods of time.

 

Yeah I would only flush with distilled water, but first you need a reason to flush. There is no reason to flush if you don't have deposits, or rust.

Really what I do is remove the heater hose, after I have drained the system. Then go ahead and remove the engine coolant lines. I clean the lines out, check the fittings and connections. After they all look good and like new I put everything back together and fill her back up.

 

good job ...

 

I thought that we don't have to change the coolant until 100k? Or does this just apply to s2 models?

 

Depends on who you ask. The company that makes it will tell you its good for 8-10 years. But they also tell people they can change their oil every 15,000 miles at some dealerships. So who do you trust:P
