I kinda did this by accident...oops!
I also had an oil temp gauge, which is a LOT better idea on how hot the engine is.  It was still showing 180F, so it was "normal".
I couldn't believe all the crap that came out after I drained it.  I had done flushes with Prestone Superflush before, and it always came out clear as it went in.  After pegging the stock temp gauge, it came out MILKY with bits and pieces of grit flowing out.
My stock temp gauge used to sit at 1/3rd to 1/2 all the time; after the flush, it NEVER went above 1/4th!  Hell, it barely got off the bottom line most of the time...
This is why I posted that info on that page...
