This is honestly a good video for the average DIY! There are a couple things I've noted. I have the "Motorcraft" brand of "Premium Cooling System Flush" for Ford vehicles and it's a little different in instructions. It states "Add flush to cooling system with the old antifreeze/coolant in it. Run flush process for 10 minutes. Drain the cooling system. Flush the cooling system with clean water. Install new antifreeze/coolant." So it actually skips the initial step of draining the old coolant first..... The other thing I noted was that your "flushing" operation is really only flushing out the overflow reservoir and lower radiator if I'm not mistaken because the thermostats on these cars don't open until almost 200°F & you're obviously not running the engine except in the "cleaning stage" so the thermostat would be closed during the flush operations which means there's no water flowing through the engine, cylinder heads etc. This makes me think it's best to remove the thermostat housing and remove the thermostat itself before beginning the process. This way you can start the engine to get the coolant/water flowing throughout the engine without any impedance to coolant flow. Otherwise the thermostat will remain closed impeding the flow of water during the flushing process unless you wait for the engine to get to operating temperature each time. Then you can install the old or likely a new thermostat anyway at the end of the process just before refilling the system with the new coolant.

Thank you very much for your video ✍️👍 it help me a lot ❤

You're welcome 😊

So the engine block is still completely full of regular water from the garden hose you never drained that so what ratio are you making up

Why bother with distilled water when its full of tap water...
