Thanks!

I actually chaged out the hoses during my 5th drain/re-fill with distilled water. I have new G-05 waiting to go in. It is clear (at least it looks that way to my color-deficient eyes) and the coolant in the car at purchase is (was) green. So I am making sure to get every last trace of the green out of the system before adding the new coolant.

I was pleased to not find much sediment in the system upon draining. Even with good previous maintenance, you never know what you are going to find in a 24 year old system!

Drove her 12 miles to work this morning and all is good.

edit: now that I have poured the G-05 in I see it is not really clear...just wanted to "clarify"....hehe, no pun intended.
