I hear its a pain in the *** to do it because you have to be careful that you dont get any air in the system. just take it to merchants and they will do it for like 40 bucks. I got it doen like 2 months ago but its dirty again, i will do it again like next month because like the post before says, it takes a couple of tries to get it cleaned.2005 Chevrolet Corvette C6 <br />M6, Magnaflow\'s 14336<br /><a href=\"http://community.webshots.com/user/v6purplebird\" target=\"_blank\">C6 Pics</a><br /><br />Old car:<br />1996 Firebird A4<br />SLP Cold Air Intake<br />Magnaflow Catback Exhaust<br />Magnaflow Catalytic Converter<br /><br />George Mason University<br />CEIE Major<br />Pi Kappa Alpha<br /><br /><a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/nsolano\" target=\"_blank\">Firebird Pics </a>

The one thing you need to do if you are going to do it yourself is buy the additive for the radiator. The reason you need this additive is because the radiator will start to corode.1997 Camaro 30th Anniversary<br />K&N Air Filter<br />Gutted Cat<br />WS6 Exhaust<br />O2 Simulator<br /><br />It\'s not the years in the Life.<br />It\'s the Life in the years.<br /> -Abe Lincoln

Wouldn't recomend any additives to any part of the car. Usually, the fluid that goes in there already has all necessary additives in it. Coolant has anti-corrosion agents in it already. You must put coolant that'ss specified in your manual, it's long lasting kind.
If you're saying your coolant is muddy, and you have automatic, you might have transmission oil in your coolant. And coolant in transmission...
