Kragen would probably have it but when I went, they didn't have any pink stuff either.

What exactly should I be getting to do the coolant flush?

G12 from the dealer. Just ask for G12.

also flush the system well so it does't mix with whatever was in there and use distilled water

Default Well, they called it "Red" at the time. Looks pink with water. Now there's Purple!

My dealer didn't have a clue about the difference between Red and Blue, either. It may be that all dealers now carry only Purple. I heard a rumor it mixes equally well with Red or Blue -- is that true!??

I'd still flush thoroughly, then put in whatever you buy. Get the flush at any AutoZone or parts store for a couple bucks.

Purple is G12+ it mixes with red (pink) and blue. Remember my original post?
