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?

 

just get it out of the tank, it will be fine

 

I concur!

 

I thought he would be fine. thanks.

 

make sure he hasn't been running it like that lol...how did he manage to put it in the wrong place Oh and is this friend you?

 

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.
