A friend just called and said that he put windshield washer fliud in the coolant overflow. I told him that he should be ok if he syphons the fluid out of the tank, and replaces it with coolant. Am I right about this, or does he need to flush the radiator?

He didn't start the car. No it wasn't me. That is one thing that I haven't done...yet.

Be sure to ask him where the oil goes. If he stutters or hesitates in any way, stick a fork in him.
