Second, yes, do a complete coolant system overhaul, since you have no history on the car.
i just read through that sticky'ed thread. Thanks a lot James. That was very informative. I'm ordering the two plastic block coolant fittings right now as well as a few other things for the cooling system. Or i might just get the whole damn level 3 coolant refresh kit from ECS but the less expensive one ofcourse.

btw.... after replacing everything in the cooling system, how does one gauge when to change everything out? After how many miles? 60k? 100k? Or is it based on time as well? THanks.
