    LLY: Type/Brand of Engine coolant

    Well your young Ben so you've been lucky! :D I'm not promoting perfectness I just wouldn't take a chance when it's so avoidable. I also know there are differences in these systems compared to the old puke tank and radiator systems. I also like to premix my antifreeze but will not go as far to...

    LLY: Type/Brand of Engine coolant

    I know what your saying but how does one go about checking it when he has mostly water in he's res? IMO he'll have to drain off some then make the adjustment. Like I said it's no big deal I'm just anal about my stuff . Here in Ct we have to worry about sub zero temps like better then 10 below...

    LLY: Type/Brand of Engine coolant

    I agree it will eventually mix but since he said some water was left in then he dumped in the antifreeze then more water how does he know where he sits as far as Boil over and Freeze ups? To much antifreeze is the same as to little from what I recall. When I flushed my system or any vehicle...

    LLY: Type/Brand of Engine coolant

    I guess it depends how anal you are. :D I don't know exactly what percentage mix you have obtained for heat and cold protection or if it's adequate. If it was my truck I'd have to know,then again I'm anal! So I'd drain off enough only to test . Depending on what you discover would dictate...

    LLY: Type/Brand of Engine coolant

    Really how do you figure although I never seen a Xterra. Unless it has a hose coming out and a hose going in it does not cycle threw. On a closed system there is a hose that is in the bottom of the res tank that by vacuum it is sucked out or blown back into the res as the radiator level...

    LLY: Type/Brand of Engine coolant

    You didn't premix the coolant 50/50 before poring it in? Talk about hot spots and in adequate cooling!! Thats just plum crazy! I know someone who cracked a block doing just what you did on a fresh rebuild on a Chevy 350. You should premix IMO! The coolant in the reservoir is only being...

    white haze from under hood?

    Ya I'd say it's probably just crankcase ventilation myself. Just check to see if you have ,or shouldn't have, fuel in your oil to be on the safe side.
