Re: Changing Your Antifreeze (LSBeast)
how about looking at your car first. all you gotta do is screw out a little plastic screw let it drain and then pour in new antifreeze.

Go to wal-mart and get:
-drain pan
-prestone coolant(antifreeze)(get the premixed)
-prestone rad flush
-funnel will help too..
Directions (from memory)
-jack the car up
-drain the coolant
-palce plug back in rad
-fill the rad with the flush and water until full
-start the car and turn heat on highest setting for about 10mins
-turn the car off and let it cool, drain
-fill the rad with water again and let run for about 10mins with heater on high
-let cool and drain again
-then fill with the premixed coolant until full
-start and let run then drive and make sure all is good.
might want to replace the rad cap now.

You also want to let the car run for a while with the rad cap off to let all of the air out of the system that might have goten in.
