I flush my coolant every 50,000 miles with distilled water and new Ford premium gold coolant.
I have installed (since 50,000 miles) a Dieselsite coolant filter which I change the filter once every year.
I have also never had any EGR, head gasket or oil cooler problems... so I think that I am OK from coolant sand and crud plugging up this parts.
My questions is.....
1) Would I need or benefit from using the VC9 coolant cleaner or the other stuff (not sure what it is called)?
2) I kow that one kind of cleaner is for one kind of problem and the other is to clean or remove another???
If my system and coolant has been changed on a regular basis, should I hassle with it or just continue with the flush procedure of fresh/distilled water and fresh coolant as I have always done?
What kind of cleaner should I use and why if I am not experiencing any problems... or do I use one cleaner (VC-9) then the other... so I get it all!!!
What are the two types of cooling system cleaners Ford uses and why?
Thanks,
