Coolant mix
 
I have to fill my car up with coolant, lost a lot during the LIM job. Thing is, I've only had the car for a few months, and I don't know what mix or what type of coolant the previous owner used, all I know is that it's green. Is it necessary to flush it all and replace it or can I just fill it up with a 30% coolant 70% water mix or so?

To be safe you may as well drain all of it; it's simple to do. Drain the radiator and then drain the engine block, there's a drain plug just above the oil pan on the driver side rear. If you just got the car you may not know how old the coolant is anyhow, won't hurt to change it.

i agree with DamonB... because he's a friggin genius (and its always good to change all the fluids when you get a new car and you aren't 100% positive of what's in it)
