Default Coolant flush and change?
My 99' coupe has 50k miles and is going in for service Friday. Is it time for a coolant flush and change?

I would think so. I just had it done at 25,000 miles. My technician said that Dex-Cool has a tendency to gum up if neglected.

I just did the flush myself two weekends ago, 37k miles. The coolant that drained out looked brand new. The whole procedure is a piece of cake.

E-mail me for the procedure and tips if you're interested...
