    Advice when adding coolant!


    I told the kids to go get the yellow jug on the coffee table by the door so that I can add the some coolant to the radiator.

    Well it just so happens...... that the 4 litre penzoil 5w30 motor oil jug is yellow too...........

    CHECK THE DAMN LABEL BEFORE POURING HALF THE JUG IN YOUR RAD.

    Its okay to laugh... I understand.... it only took me half the day to rip my rad and hoses out and flush em'. Luckily I never started the motor. Its a brand new rad too, just put it in last week.
