Default hey whats up ClubLexus

It been like a couple of mouths now since i owned my first sc4. Anyways i was having this overheating problem on my car but the temp gage didnt read that it was over heating. so i figure that it must be the thermostat or somthing. so i changed it . as i was changing it there was this brown liquid that im guesing it must be that dexdron stuff or what ever. but the thing is that they're green coolant in the radiator too and for me i love my lexus an i want to take good care of it. anyways i was just curious if anyone know how to do a complete coolant flush because i dont like how those two coolant is mixing. im hoping after doing this it well make my engine happy n cool. THANK YOU VERY MUCH =] and sorry for the bad typing n grammer. also what does the light with the back wheel spark mean on the cluster? cuz it turn on once every wild.

Toyota likes red coolant so buy toyota coolant. The cluster light means one of the tail light bulb is out.

well if u want to drain all of the coolant then flush all that gunk out and then replace with toyota red which u will have to mix 50/50 with DISTILLED water, then i suggest u unscrew the drain ***** from under the radiator and the engine block. i'll give u a little diagram to help u out.

Yep. Use only Toyota Red. Some of the other stuff can severely cause gunkiness and chunks in the radiator.
