DIY Basic Coolant Change - M113 Engine Cooling System

This is the basic DIY Coolant Change Technique for Flushing and Refill:

  • ONLY open the system with engine temperature less than 90C, and do it SLOWLY.
  • Drain old coolant using Radiator Drain Plug (and engine block drain plugs if they exist).
  • Dispose of the Coolant per your Local regulations, even though it is classified as "Biodegradable".
  • Fill with rain water using Vacuum Filling System to remove trapped air bubbles. (Takes about 6-7L.)
  • Drain again.
  • Repeat fill with rain water and drain several more times until drained fluid is clear. (On last few drains, use Vacuum System without filling to remove deep trapped air bubbles.)
  • Then fill with distilled water using Vacuum Filling System. (Takes about 6-7L.)
  • Drain once more. (Use Vacuum System several times without filling to remove deep trapped air bubbles.)
  • If using M-B coolant add as much as system will take using Vacuum Filling System.
  • If using antifreeze concentrate add 6L of concentrate using Vacuum Filling System.
  • Top up with distilled water.
  • After all air has escaped top up with either M-B coolant or distilled water as required.
  • Final Concentration using antifreeze concentrate should be 6L in 11.2L ie 54%.
  • Note if you do a "complete" coolant change every 2 - 3 years, there is probably no need to do the several rain water and distilled water flushes.
