Should the coolant be drained and refilled after using this product?

Not necessary. It can be added to existing coolant as long as the coolant/water mixture is correct.

Sorry, I ended up replacing my radiator before using this product. I'll put it on Ebay in a few days.

I bought the flush product; did that a couple of times and then added the Relief in the fresh re-fill with new antifreeze. That process worked well !!

About 8 minutes, depending on your coolant temp and flow rates, of course.I usually make 5 gallon batches, which cool from 210 to 78 degrees in about 4 minutes. My coolant water is about 60 degrees.After use, I flush with clean water then run some sanitizer through and let it drain out. I've used about 10 times so far and it works great. I'm considering installing quick connect fittings as connection of the hoses each use it the only thing that takes any significant time, but even that is not much.

I have been using water treatment to the water immediately after filling it back up, and so far no issues. I have done this method for 2 years now. The product cannot treat the water first.

I have used this, and it worked good for me. I first drained all coolant from car, then flushed the cooling system with clean water until clean clear water was all in the motor block, and radiator. You must remove the thermostat before flush, and sealer is ran. After good flushing, drain some of the water , then add the head sealer , top off with water in the radiator. Now let the car run for a few hr's. Get it warm. Don't let it over heat. Some say they leave it in a few days, and drive it with the sealer in before re-filling with proper coolant. It will not work if any coolant is in the system when using the head sealer. I have used it on 2 cars, and both are fine now. Worked great for me.

No. I'm a car collector and Evans coolant saved my motor. I highly recommend it. Every time I see somebody with an overheated car at a car show I always tell them about Evans coolant.

You should mix the full strength coolant with distilled water (50% water volume with 50% coolant volume).

your gas tank should be filled after each use so there is no room for condensation or air. This product is to keep gas from souring when left for extended periods of time.Are you sure that condensation is your issue?

Yes, its actually a good idea to refill it once every couple months and very easy. Lay it on a big cutting board, lift up the opposite end of the cap, undo the cap and let it drain. Takes 1 minute. Then fill it back up with fresh water. Read the instructions on how much water to add or add water and weigh the Chillow, I think it should be around 3.3lbs but then again, check the instructions or website. Ps. Make sure the Foam Core inside does not bunch all up while draining. You can do this by holding both corners of the Chillow and holding on to the Foam. I no longer need neck surgery due to his pillow. :-) Yes, its actually a good idea to refill it once every couple months and very easy.

Double check me but I'm 95% sure that you mix it 50/50 with distilled water. i would not top off with this if its not already in there. i would top off with distilled water or drain and fill with coolant distilled water mix.

if you are just topping off the coolant level, then yes. If you are trying to replace the fluid, no.

Good morning Jonathon and thanks for the inquiry. No, this doesn't require draining. The fluid that is inside the tube is a heat transfer solution and will not freeze.Please let us know if you have any additional questions or if we can assist you further.Thanks again,Jeff CousinsOperations Manager

You must make sure that the engine block, heater core, etc is empty of all old coolant. You need to remove all coolant hoses, thermostat, and water pump. Blow out heater core etc with compressed air. I replaced my water pump and all hoses. You don't want to have a leak later and lose that expensive fluid. Product is excellent for vehicles that are stored part or all of the year.

U can add it to existing coolant if it's g12 . Yes add distilled water 50/50 to the coolant . Don't use tap water since it has varying ph values . If the existing coolant is not g12 then yes u need to flush it .

I dont really know, but if you decided to use it, flush the cooling system completely before using the red coolant. I don think its good to mix green and red coolant.

Yes, do not mix with any other coolant and do not add water. Change interval from factory is 11 years. Just top off when needed.

This is straight, undiluted coolant. You will need to add water, preferably deionized.
