new oil cooler old muck
« on: 27 May 2008, 19:39:23 »


Iv just replaced the oil cooler , I flushed out the water but how much mao would you expect to find in the filler tank , I was surprised to find lodes of mao back in the filler tank
How many flushes before you find the tank not as full of mao as it was be for the oil cooler change
thanks

When I did mine I replaced the coolant bottle and flushed the cooling system for weeks before the water ran clear.

Is it worth worth putting wyns or similar products in the oil before an oil change to stop this problem, I keep hearing conflicking information regards these things and therefore have stayed well clear.

TIA   :y
