Press in and release the main thick coolant lines to get the water through faster (it sucks it out of the overflow tank for you) No point doing it more than once :-) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84229-the-fluid-change/page/5/#findComment-1370731 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to use fully synthetic oils in turbo charged cars! Done a little research and it's 50/50 I just want what's best for MY car. That's why I asked your opinion.If you want to fully flush the cooling system take the 10mins and remove your thermostat and lower hose then flush the old stuff out, being only coolant I wouldn't be to fussed.
