I almost forgot the day I brought the car home (NEW!!!), I was so excited, but I thought I would do the responsible thing and drop in a bottle of Redline coolant additive, since it had worked amazingly well on both my and my friends old 9000s.
I can still remember the horror in seeing the little metal seal slip in to the pour stream and end up sinking in to the tube at the bottom of the overflow reservoir!!! Efforts to retrieve it were frustrating and futile.
My wife and kids came out begging for a ride, and I had to tell them that I had already ruined the engine, and there would be no rides, perhaps FOREVER!
I mean the car was less than 2 hours old, and I was already ripping up the cooling system! What an idiot!
So...the final insult would be if Redline is incompatable with DexCool in the FIRST place!!! I'll be wondering " Am I too stupid to live???"
Please tell me I'm OK here. I'll flush and refill anyway, but maybe some other more agressive approach is necessary.
As always...thanks in advance!!!
