Antifreeze ?

I used Peak. O'Reilly has the 50/50 on sale BOGO. 2 gallons of 50/50 is plenty to refill the system, no need to add any water if you want a 50% mix. There's an air relief plug in a coolant line near the TB on the driver's side. Take off the engine cover before removing it. It makes it easier to get to it. I didn't remove the cover and and dropped the plug. Couldn't recover it. They are on national backorder so you can't get another one.

The Peak 50/50 will work. The cooling system is a closed system so it should still all be there but check anyway. I live in a warm climate. I flushed and filled mine at about 60K but found out it was still completely full and the flush was probably not really needed for at least 100K miles. If it's only a few ounces low, topping it off with distilled water will do just fine.

Need your advice too.... My G37 has only 27,500 miles and the dealer is already suggesting I replace the antifreeze .. What's up with that..?
Car run fine and no overheating issues at all
I wonder if they simply "recommend" services based on a generic interval chart thAt They may have

As far as I understand, the blue coolant is the long life coolant. If it's mixed with the green stuff, it shouldn't hurt it, but it will reduce the duration that it can be used to the limitations of the green. The blue is the good stuff and you should probably stick with it if it's already in there.

There are people with modern cars with way over 100k that have never changed it. If something is actually wrong with it, ask them to tell you what's wrong with it and what caused it. It sounds to me like somebody wants your money for nothing.

I've changed mine twice already at 30k miles. It had some fine sediments in the drain, so it was a good thing that it was changed. Just a piece of mind running with clean antifreeze.
