    How to fully drain antifreeze

    " permanent" type antifreeze came out in the late '50's and replaced the alcohol-based antifreezes. the main reason was the car manufacturers wanted a hotter coolant (180-195 degree) requiring a hotter opening thermostat. cars that run alcohol based anti-freezes must use a thermostat that opens...
