    I'm pretty sure that's what was in there before haha.

    It's fixed, so I'm happy.

    What would be something better to put in there?

      dexcool (orange coolant) is what you want. sludge was there before but it will quickly come back and even be worse. If you choose to use green, you need to flush the entire cooling system many times with water to get as much dexcool out as possible. Not just the radiator. If he is smart, he knows you will be back for either over heating from build up, failed water pump due to the lack of lubrication( lubricants that it needs are in dexcool, not green coolant) heater core plugged causing low/no heat output, etc.

      More money for him :D

        Thanks for the info. Next time I'll ask for dexcool :)
