Mixing coolant.

Beemw335 · 04-19-2012, 11:33 PM

Lent my car to my brother while out of town for the week, today as he was driving, he got a low coolant symbol. He was close to a garage that we sometimes use. The mecanic topped it off, now this obviously wasnt bmw coolant, but it was for the time being. Should I bother flushing and changing it or just leave it as is?

It's so easy flush. I would flush it even though it probably will make no difference.

Thing is I did a rad flush this past septemeber, so it suck to have to re do it.
Anyways Ill probably do it when I change the oil, so soon!
Better safe than sorry.
