Using Prestone "Flush"?

Post by estipe »

Hello,

I'm planning on flushing my radiator and refilling with Zerex G-05. However, I was wondering if it was a bad idea to use the Prestone "Flush" fluid in addition to distilled water after the old has been drained and before filling with the new? Or should I just use distilled water and let it get to temp and then fill it with the new?

Thanks,

Eric

PS. I've got a 95' 850.

Distilled water, skip the Prestone stuff.
