our manual just states long life or equivalent which would be Dex-cool that has to be changed every five years. Most manufacturers do not recommend a flush, but you can if you want it is up to you. pull the lower hose off radiator and you will get a lot of the stuff that is bad out. just mix it 50/50 antifreeze and good water, or you can buy it already mixed it will take 7.0 quarts.
