Re: Coolant Change Question (Air Bubble?)

[Dondria Wallace <ddwallace@earthlink.net>]

Mostly around town,.

    My drives are less than 1/2 hour.  About 3-5 mins to get to the freeway,
5 mins on the freeway, and then 5-10 to get to the parking lot.  Same on the
return, except I drove a little further.  Fan is coming on.  It wasn't
behaving this bad prior to the coolant change, and I've added the Prestone
5/150 Extended Life coolant in a 50/50 mixture with distilled water.

Thanks,
Lloyd
