Yeah, but Brugz is talking about potentialy mixing what he currently has (i am making an assumtion it is an eth/gly) with this non eth/gly. Want to make sure it is all completly flushed, otherwise the mixing of the different coolants could have adverse results (this is the myth/fact I was refering to). Not so much mixing old and new coolant (like for like).
