    M923a2 Coolant System Drain and Flush:

    Not from the factory on these, there are provisions, places to connect them. The early C series didn't need them. Mid stop liners, spun steel and not cast iron. Later in life, they had them from the factory due to changes in the way the stuff moved around and how the engine fired. However...

    Nope on the pink. Fleetguard sca was blue. Another "opinion". Look into Fleetguard antifreeze, the blue stuff. It is conventional but will mix with ELC types. And, yes, STAY AWAY from the red, orange extended life stuff, old engines have pieces internally that the ELC will attack and you end up...
