cooling

Yeah i don't know squat when it comes to cooling systems, but over the summer my overflow resivoir was a little low so i brought it up to normal levels with a little water. Should i flush my radiator for the winter?

True. I never keep my overflow tank filled. That's what it's for...in the event that you get some backpressure in your coolant system, it doesn't go all over the engine. But hey...that's me.

well i was checking the fulids one day and i noticed there's "low" and "high" fill lines, so i figured it was a good idea that i had it inbetween those. So if i get the time/energy/money i guess i'll flush it.
