Does anybody know how to service coolant for 2000 Galant 4 cyl?
I heard it's not that hard, but as a beginner, I don't believe that.
So any advise is appreciated.
Thanx!!

Thanks for your offer man, but can't drive all the way to Urbana... too far away from where I live.... but if you tell me what to do, I will follow your instruction....
Again, thanks.

the simplest way is to just drain the coolant from the radiator and refill with a nice 50/50 mix of h2o and coolant. but that leaves a lot of old coolant in the engine block. Buy a preston flush kit or something and follow the directions, this would be a better way of doing it because it flushes out all the old coolant.

if you change it every 30k, a simple drain and fill will suffice.
just drain the radiator and fill with a 50/50 mix, as stated by someone else.
you will only get about 50 to 70 percent of the coolant in the engine, but you'll be doing it often enough where that doesnt matter.
