I've just used Forte coolant flush with great success!

I standardised all my cars on Prestone yellow, after Ford gave me some yellow stuff (which I paid over the odds for trying to get the exact red Ford coolant). I've used it in GM, Ford and BMW cars.

I've drained it out of one or two cars after a few years for maintenance like water pump changes and it still looked good. No sign of sludge or anything. I do mix it with distilled water though.

Just ordered a litre of that from Amazon for £6

That Prestone coolant. Is it yellow or clear coolant in the container?

The coolant is a yellowy green colour.

You can buy it pre-diluted or neat. I think I've seen it in Asda. I buy the neat stuff from Costco.

When you first drain the old coolant, even with a flush, some of the old stuff remains in the block so I have a slight blue tinge in one car and a slight pink tinge in another!
