    Default Engine Drain

    Is there a big difference between flushing engine by drain plug or disconnecting lower radiator hose?

    Flush might stir up bits of debris that have been happily left alone for years. I don't flush rads or trannies. Drain from lower hose should be all ya need

    NEVER EVER DO A POWER FLUSH AT A JIFFY LUBE OR ANY AUTO SHOP NEEEEVEERRR. I ruined my Pontiac Grand Prix doing that.

    Good dirty over time builds up in the engine and the tranny and fills cracks and and tiny holes in places in which fluid can leak. The dirty keeps things sealed up nice.

    If you want to DRAIN AND FILL the radiator coolant and transmission fluid then fine!!!!! Drain and fill only

    NO power flush!!!
