Hello all!
I am new to the group as I just recently purchased a 2008 RXP 255 and a 2008 RXT 255. These are low hour machines, around 60 hours each. They have been sitting for about 3 years though in a heated garage. I immediately pulled the super chargers and sent them in for rebuild, I am waiting on them to return. I swapped in new spark plugs and will also be changing the oil and filter.
I researched that the green coolant is only good for two years and this may be the original coolant, so I want to swap it out. I ordered new coolant from PWC muscle, but I realized it is the orange coolant type and the two cannot mix. I looked up the procedure for the basic coolant change and it makes sense. But if I am switching over to the orange coolant, should I run the machines in the lake with distilled water for awhile to get the green coolant out of the block? Or am I okay to just drain and fill with distilled water 4 times or so? I appreciate any and all advice and I am looking forward to being a member of the group.
Thank you,
Caleb Mix
