If your engine is now two years old, your money is better spent changing out your coolant. You probably have the tried and true classic "green coolant" in there and, after two years, the corrosion inhibitors that are protecting all that beautiful aluminum have just about given out. Hey, that gives me a great idea for a separate thread challenging the math skills of that old curmudgeon ERAChas on how to figure out an EZ coolant change out procedure for you. I'll post that now, in fact.

Era Chas I think that Pat needs to recheck the bottles. Green coolant is good for 36 months or 50k miles. The orange coolant is good for 5 years or now 120,000 miles. A test strip will tell you if it is time. Also how hot and hard the motor is run. Me I run the green coolant 5 years and add the booster at 3 years. With new motor and bigger radiator have gone to orange coolant because of the added sealing of the mixture with so much silicone. Going on 4 years and still good for -30f. This is for storage and around the area with short hops. At the track I use water wetter and distilled water. Tracks can fine you and remove you from them if a large spill happens with antifreeze.
