Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Trucks / March 20051998 Blazer Anti Freeze
Hi all, I'm looking to change out the anti freeze in my 98 Blazer. I was just wondering if it would be all right to switch to regular good old Green anti freeze instead of the crap that GM recommends. What's everyone think about this subject. Also is the drain plug on the passenger side of the radiator. It's hard to tell from the top. It looks like a lot more work to drain this truck than my 1970 Camaro Hot Rod is. Thanks for any comments. Duke. > Hi all, I'm looking to change out the anti freeze in my 98 Blazer.

Duke. Duke, As long as you make sure that you flush your radiator completely. It is best to back flush it from one of the heater hoses. I run the good 'ole green in my '94 Balzer and have been for all 188,000 miles. The drain for mine is on the driver side and isn't that hard to get too. I think that yours is also on the driver side. Good Luck. Swampy There really isn't anything wrong with Dexcool. If you're so inclined to believe so you can switch but be aware that even a miniscule amount left behind when going "green" will cause you more grief than you ever imagined the orange stuff did. You could also use "big yellow" from prestone which is safe for anything. Larry > Hi all, I'm looking to change out the anti freeze in my 98 Blazer.

Your drain plug is on the passenger side. It's very difficult to get at from the top, unless you remove the fan shrouds and fan. If you go in thru the wheel well on that side, you might be able to get closer to it. I'll often just pull the lower rad hose off of the water pump to drain the coolant. Ian |
