one of the challenges with color of the coolant is that i used recycled coolant. they change their color as they please. the first time leo used it and it was purple. now it is greenish.

but...all that aside. my coolant is clean, i tested it and the freezing levels were fine (even if i stayed in alberta for the winter), the nitrate were fine and the other one was a little low. so they matched up the test strip with amount of precharge i needed in a filter and i got it.

changing that coolant filter is a little tougher than it looks without being underneath it.

btw, the blue silicone 2.5" radiator hose i bought was 15 bucks a foot.

and i used about 2 1/2 feet of it for the 4 hoses.
