Changing coolant
After removing my turbos for an upgrade, I find myself needing to replace the coolant I lost when I removed all the water lines from the turbos.

Since I have never changed the coolant before on my turbo, I am looking for some insight and guidelines. I have factory coolant on hand.

If you are not at the mileage interval for a flush then you can just top off the coolant to the proper level

I'm doing the same thing tonight. How much oil are you adding (I didn't keep track how much came out...)?

I drained completely and did a oil change while upgrading the turbos. 8.5 quarts total
