I used the flushing kit in a Toyota I used to have. It worked well, but
figuring out how to catch the coolant so that I could carefully dispose
of it was the tricky part. I ended up using a big pan, and transfering
the coolant to plastic jugs as the pan filled.
Haven't done that for awhile. I'm inclined to find a shop that can do
it tidily for me . . .
