Hey guys,

This weekend I am going to be replacing the factory radiator in my 85GS and i was wondering what fluid to use and if I have to worry about bleeding the system or do rx7's bleed themselves for the most part.

Thanks

 

Depends on where you live but I use 50/50 anti freeze and distilled water, NOT tap water. Buying the premixed stuff is easiest.

Not completely sure about bleeding. Previously I just squeezed the top rad hose repetatively once the thermostat opened which got some air bubbles out, but that was with a semi full system already.

 

Have the front of the car elevated a little bit, should help air bubbles make their way out
