Coolant filteration

Approximately 400 miles ago, I installed a coolant filter. Today was pull it, dump it and examine the contents. One of you guys recommended this to me along with various other things. I shall forever be grateful!! The crap that this filter collected was amazing. If I could figure out how to post the picture of the mud (from the filter) pictured in a mason jar, I'd do it. I don't know if everyone has one of these filtration setups, but if you don't, you might want it. No wonder my oil cooler is marginal.

Yep, they work on a cooling system that's been neglected. The scary part is ...it won't catch all of it. You might want to consider a flush in the future.

coolant filter

Winters coming pretty quickly in this part of the north so the flush is happening this weekend. New t-stat is in my garage so we'll pull the old and flush like crazy. New a-freeze and d-water, t-stat and should be good to go.
