Back Flushing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Using the power flushing equipment manufacturer's instructions, connect equipment so the flushing fluid flows in the opposite direction of normal fluid flow.
  2. CAUTION:
    • If the cooler can not be properly flushed using recommended equipment, send the radiator out for sublet cleaning or replace.
