Yeah everybody says that but I don't understand how they are any good? In order to get a 'true' 50/50 mix on antifreeze in the car you have to get enough water out of the block to get 50% of antifreeze back in....example, if you use the kit to flush the engine you will have 100% clean water in the engine, you can drain the radiator and add straight antifreeze but that isn't nearly enough antifreeze to make 50% again.....

Am I missing something? I think those kits are a bunch of junk....just my two cents.
