I looked at my coolant and it looks brown and really dirty. I know there are a lot of threads about this but I need to know how to do a coolant flush. Also how do you clean the coolant tank? help!

If you can't get G12, get the texaco / havoline extended orange coolant. Looks to be better than G12 actually because of its alkalinity. Not as hard on seals. Its also G12 compatible.
we didn't end up flushing the system because the coolant still looked pink so we just cleaned the tank. there was a spongy orange substance in the tank along with rust colored stuff too. it was totally weird. We soaked it in some coolant flush and got a lot of it out but it's still kind of gross. I might just get a new coolant tank. Does anyone know what that stuff is?

The problem (common) the oil cooler has gone or is going and putting oil in the water.
