Change to gold and new hoses
Well, I've finished off the case of additive I bought a long time ago and will finally make the change to gold (HOAT) antifreeze in my 02 E350.
At the same time it will probably be prudent to change out the hoses. Where is everyone buying their coolant hoses these days? My local Autozone supplies them but needs to know if I have an engine oil cooler hose in the lower radiator hose. I guess I can figure it out. Guess I'll replace the heater hoses at the same time.
What about thermostat and housing? Suggestions?
I have 106K at the present time. Have had no problems and the hoses all "look" OK.
However, I believe it's time.
My plan is to drain it and fill with water a few times and then change out the hoses and fill with distilled water until I get down to the nearly all distilled water level and then add the antifreeze.
Has anyone had any problem getting the block plugs out?
