I remember Costco had an 'engine power flush' they would do that actually ran clean oil through the engine and through a filter, in a continuous flow. Maybe you could find a 'flush' like that, where they actually cycle the fluid through, discard it, and add fresh fluid? By the way, if any mechanics want to correct any misconceptions I've stated, feel free, I am not a pro.

well said
i'm not a pro either but i've flushed my cooling system before. all i did was take the bottom radiator hose and empty the radiator then added water to it and let it warm up so the thermostat can open and the water can mix with the one left in the engine. then i drained it again and did the same thing over and over (like 6 times) till the water came clear, after it was clearer i added my antifreeze and now the fluid looks green
i added regular tap water cuz i dont care for it, but if u try it u might wan to add distiled water to it
. i havent had problems with it.
if there were a way to drain the water from the engine block, u wouldnt have to flush the cooling system several times
but i havent figure that out yet
