coolant flush

[hywy61]

I know this might start a long discussion but I want to try to keep things simple. Yes i did a search and am even more confused than before doing it.

I need to change the fluid. I want to use the same orange i already have in there.

1. Will the prestone 50/50 work?
It has the OAT Based (Organic Acid Technology)

2. Do the drain plug on the side of the engine really need to be removed?

Thanks.

I would use zerex G-05 in your case... but what do i know, i just use the green stuff in my 95. all the OAT stuff with certain chemicals mixing and eating each other IS confusing. prestone is junk.

edit: zerex's chart says to use the dex-cool in your year. but it says to use the g-05 (yellow) in mine, and it was green.
