[DML] Re: Draining and Replacing Delorean Antifreeze

["thebrave65" <johnnysher1@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Mike.  There's a few things you gotta do: remove the lower hose at
the engine on the right side and drain from there.  If you have the
upgraded metal radiator, you should have a petcock drain you can
unscrew.  Otherwise, remove the lower hose on the radiator.

I recommend you flush the system thouroughly including the heater
core.  The two hoses going to it are inside the spare tire access
panel on the right.

To drain and flush faster, you can remove the plugs on each side of
the engine block.

When you replace the fluid, don't forget to bleed the air out both at
the engine and at the radiator.  The easist way is to use a pressure
tester at LOW pressure.  Be very careful at the radiator.  If you are
using a stock rad, the bleed hose is attched at the upper right and is
fitted onto a plastic connector.  If you are not gentle, you will
break it off and a new radiator is in your near future.

Oh, and before you ask and start a anti-freeze war, just use a good
green anti-freeze that's safe for aluminum.
