A friend of mine has one of these abominations and it is recommended to do a coolant flush every 40,000 to 50,000 miles. We have looked up a couple of procdures for doing this, and it seems pretty straight forward. However, this one has a coolant fliter kit installed, so we don't know if anything should be done differently. Some have said that if you use the chemical flush agent, then you need to backflush the oil cooler, as it can become clogged and stop working.
Has anyone here done a flush on one of these that has the coolant filter kit installed? If so, did you just do the flush normally, or add steps to the procedure? Below are the two links that I sent to him for the flush procedures. Let me know.
