How often to flush radiator when water/water wetter is used?
Like the topic says. How often do I need to drain and replace with distilled water and fresh water wetter.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Good question, but in the future I'll be trying some of this:

Just buy honda type 2 coolant. Premixed and all you need to do it add. I would do your radiator fluid every 30k miles.

water wetter contains silicates/ silicate free coolant is recommended for hondas.
but who knows if that really matters.

I flush and fill my coolant every 15k miles just to be sure.
Dropping a few dabs of soap into your coolant will break the surface tension and provide the same results as water wetter. An old trick Larry from Endyn posted awhile back.

Running this now, its great. Pain in the *** to use though, since it can't have any water in it what so ever. So you basicly have to drain the radiator, block, and blow compressed air through the system to get all the water out.
