Nick 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Hopefully get to fire my engine up over the long weekend, but to check for things like leaks, and to just get everything freely moving inside, i was planning on filling my fluids with (hopefully) cheaper alternatives, and then drain it all and re-fill with proper stuff. Is this a good idea? What do you reccommed? Nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted August 25, 2006 not such a bad idea as regards oil............putting in cheaper stuff then running it for a short while then draining it off is seemingly better than using a flushing oil as regards coolant tho..........maybe just as well using plain water as the amount of time its likely to be in(provided your draining it within a day or two) is hardly likely to need the corrosion inhibiters and unless you stay north of the border you aint gonna need its anti-freeze properties either Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
