[QUOTE="6.0 Tech, post: 1345705, member: 23001"] 50/50, a lot of guys use cat elc, i put gold in. Vacuum refiller is not necessary, as the degas is the highest point. Lower hose typically takes 5 gallons total, possibly 6. When you change it, dont bother opening the petcock, as it doesnt drain out the lower hose anyway. Just get ready with a big ass bucket, i use concrete mixing tubs from home depot. Use a pocket screw driver to remove the clip holding the 2 halves together, then a panel popper to remove the hose from the lower core support and separate the 2 hoses. Be careful when separating them as there is a ton of coolant, like a gallon to gallon and a half if you drained the radiator first. [/QUOTE]
