Radiator flush vs Drain / Fill benefits?
On my 2001 CL the maintainence schedule calls for coolnt replacement at 75,000. I'm at 80,000 and thinkits time. What are the benefits of a flush vs a drain/fill for this. The dealer wants to just do a drain/fill. Are there any tangible benefits to a flush or is this procedure unnecessary.
Thanks

It probaby won't make any difference.

usually u flush when u start mixing antifreezes becuase then depending wha type u use it might start gettin watery and start gettin corroded inside if u dont change the type or anti then a drian and fill is good
