The coolant thread makes it clear GRM should do a Learn-Me on coolant. I know I could use one.

  1. Types of coolant
  2. How to learn what type of coolant your car uses
  3. Compatibility with different materials and engine components
  4. What was the whole DexCool thing?
  5. Marque-specific issues, like do Subarus need something special because of the head gaskets?
  6. Use of water
  7. Use of performance enhancers like Water Wetter.

That would be an excellent article!

and on the 11th page, last sentence, it will read "after performing all of this there is still only a 60% chance of success, may god have mercy on your soul."

While annoying, I never found it as bad as legend indicates. Everything's pretty easy to reach, just accept it will take a few rounds of bleeding then driving for a bit. Maybe I was consistently lucky, my sample size is 4-5 instances of having to bleed my '86.

For those tough to bleed things, look up Air Lift. I think...

Magic, anyway.
