Three gallons. I know the manual says that the coolant does not need to be changed but who really makes a coolant that lasts the life of the car?

Unless you drain the block you'll never get all of the coolant out, even then there will probably be almost a quart in many of the lines.

I use products from BND automotive only. I got Brian the owner researching our tranny and AWD system now so he can custom blend an oil to combat the heat and wear these cars generate

Willie,
Is this the fuel additive you use?

I just get so mad every time I fill up one of my cars. The crap gas and lack of detail at the pump just makes me rant.
For example, this ethanol crap is posted on all pumps around AZ. But, you dont know when they are using the blend. Yeah, the label says this gasoline MAY contain up to 10 percent blend of ethanol. I mean WTF.

Yes I use Aces IV. Most fuel tanks have ethanol in them regardless of if it say may contain up to 10%. The ethanol makes the fuel have even less lubricity. I am trying to get the right mixture going to get 400 miles out of a tank. The standard ratio is 1oz to 6gals of fuel but the Audi and VW do better with thinner mixes, Im just trying to find that mix working my way down from 3.5oz's. I am at 2.5oz's per tank and I get 380 miles per tank.
