how much coolant for 99 regal gsandyjs3589 10-23-2006, 08:12 PM I am going to be doing a coolant flush on my 99 regal gs tommorow. I do not have a manual so I do not know how much coolant to get and I have heard anything from 8 L to 11 L. Any help would be appreciated Thanks, Andy BNaylor 10-23-2006, 08:21 PM According to the '99 Owner's Manual, the cooling system holds a maximum of 12.3 quarts coolant including the reservoir. However, after a flush it may not need that much unless you drain the engine block which is a PITA. I have some old posts if you do a search on a cooling system flush procedure and the trick to get the water out after flushing the engine block. andyjs3589 10-23-2006, 08:27 PM Thank you very much, I just searched and found one. andyjs3589 10-23-2006, 08:34 PM http://napaonline.com/MasterPages/NOLMaster.aspx?PageId=470&LineCode=ZRX&PartNumber=ZXEL1&Description=Antifreeze+-+Extreme+Life+-+Dexcool+-+Gallon Just wondering if this is an ok brand of antifreeze to use? My dad being a firefighter gets a pretty good discount at napa and this is the only brand that is showing that they have for my car. BNaylor 10-23-2006, 09:23 PM I've never used Zerex brand. But this is the one you want that is the approved Dexcool. http://www.valvoline.com/pages/products/product_detail.asp?product=11 I use the Prestone Extended Life (yellow bottle) which is based on the same Organic Acid Technology (OAT) as Dexcool and 100% Dexcool compatible but it is green in color. Alot cheaper than Dexcool but works good. http://www.prestone.com/products/antifreezeCoolant.php It is your choice and good luck. andyjs3589 10-24-2006, 08:01 PM Thank you very much I just got done with it and it went great. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
