Re: Radiator fluid (Nixs99)
It's not hard but if you do it yourself, you will have to do a few fill/drain cycles to remove all the existing coolant.
I brought mine to my mechanic for a machine flush/exchange. It's way easier and you get 99% of the old coolant out of your system.
My other advice is to use distilled water to avoid sludge development (no dissolved mineral interaction with the coolant).
