Used the search function, didn't find an answer I could use. Anyway, changed the thermostat and flushed the coolant system. Just wanted to know how long I sould let the car run to ensure that all new fluids were mixed well?

 

mixed well?? just run it until the t-stat opens up and you have good heat from the heater= system bled

 

That's what I did.. I just wanted to make sure that all the coolant in the block was the same "mix" that I tested in the rad. after flushing.. I did the flush with distilled water until clear and filled with Prestone straight, then 50/50, run for 20 minutes ('stat open, heater blowing hot) tested the coolant, all good....

Thanks

 

Also, what is the normal target reading you guys go for when testing? (i.e. -25, -40, etc.)

TIA

 

depends on the area you live in and how cold it gets, here in MD -20 is more than sufficient, use a tester to verify where you're at

 

Cool, that's where I left it. Thanks man...
