Hi! This is Jon on behalf of Expert Village. In this video clip, I will be talking about step 4 in our procedure for flushing a cooling system. Once all the liquid has drained out and when you blow compressed air through the lines and air comes out, you want to go ahead and tighten up our plug down at the bottom. Make sure you get that in good and tight because we don't want that to leak. The next step is to get your antifreeze and to get an empty container so that we can start mixing it. Now your user manual for your vehicle will tell you exactly how much coolant will fix in your cooling system, so I would use that when you go out and buy your coolant. Now I am starting off with half a gallon of distilled water and my coolant that I purchased. So I am going to go ahead and mix these two, and now I have 1 gallon of properly-mixed coolant.
