I purchased prestone super radiator cleaner to hopefully clean my cooling system. The cleaner instructs you to drain radiator and fill with water and 1liter of the flush. then drive for 6 hrs and flush again with water and then add approx. 1gal antifreeze/water(50/50). I have been using the regular ethl. glycol and not the very expensive "red" that toyota recommends. In addition I have a small plastic prestone " flush and fill " kit which supposedly allows me to back flush the system by means of a "T" fitting that goes into the heater inlet hose. My question: is this effective or should something else be done. I don't think i have flushed it in 3 yrs. thanks in advance.
