As many more H2O flush(es) as you can stand (I'd say minimum of 2)
Refill with Distilled H2O and Zerex G-05 (or MB coolant...same thing)
My question, which I also asked in the other thread - but no one cared to reply there, is, I already have one gallon of Purple Power (multi-purpose degreaser). Can I use that in place of Dawn dish detergent (it would seem more effective) and if yes, to what water ratio and how many cycles?
Also, about citric acid... In what form do I get it and where? (If there is a mild form of citric acid, that's what I'd like to use... This is not the right moment for me to have issues that need further attention come up...)

Thanks to all...
