What type of coolant does a kx85 need?
A KX85 just needs regular green premixed engine coolant. To replace the coolant in the engine system, simply drain the current coolant and refill. There is no need to flush the system before replacing.

Needs complete coolant and rear differential fluid flush.

Transmission flush or transmission fluid change for 2000 Honda accord. What's the difference Mechanic wants 60 more for a flush.?
Sorry, I do not know. You just pull a drain plug to drain the transmission. To flush the transmission, he needs to drain the transmission, remove a cooler line, run the engine while filling the transmission so the torque converter can discharge any contaminated fluid. Your fluid must have shown sign of overheating for him to suggest that. Good/smart mechanic. Need more like him.
Why would the antifreeze in your car smell like fish?
I have never smelled coolant that smelled like fish. It usually smells sweet. I suggest you do a complete coolant system service. Drain, flush, replace thermostat, install a 50/50 mix of proper coolant and distilled water, bleed air from system.AnswerIt has gone bad and needs flushed and replaced! Hopefully that's all that wrong with itAnswerIt's good to flush the system, but the anti freeze is within the engine and internal heating circuit and should be sealed. Therefore if you can smell it you have a leak, so flush but also find the leak.
You were told by a mechanic to add coolant to your buick container if it needs it There is a cold line and a hot line on the container how high should you go?
After your car has completely warmed up the coolant level should be at the hot line. If it lower than that , wait until the car cools off and add coolant until it reaches the cold line. Never add the coolant directly to the radiator as you may over fill it.
Your toilets will not flush completely with out holding down the handle?
The flush mech or flapper is faulty or your handle needs to be adjusted.

Linkage going to flapper is sticking or needs adjusted. Nut holding flush handle to tank may need tightened or replaced. Pressure assisted toilet needs more force on handle to flush.

Replace the coolant thermostat. It is probably stuck in the open position.

As the engine coolant heats up, the coolant expands, so the coolant needs a reservoir or expansion tank to flow in and out of as needed.
Where is the radiator coolant level sensor on your 1997 Chevy Lumina engine?
,I have to replace my sensor too, The coolant sensor is located on the side of the Radiator, NOT the plastic coolant overflow bottle, as one would expect. You might want to drain the coolant down a little so when you take out the sensor, you don't make a mess. I think the sensor on these are around $40.00TomTom4049Just bought the coolant level sensor at AutoZone for $6.99, that's pretty cheap folks. This one is for a 1999 Cavalier with the 2.2, yours may vary slightly.I have a buddy who is non-mechanical when it comes to his car. Funny but he was a aircraft maintenance mechanic is the Air Force! I find that an odd juxtaposition. I will replace his sensor, flush and change the oil, oil filter, air filter, and replace the coolant, and install new plugs. He's a little short on funds so I bought everything myself. Everyone needs a friend like me.
Why is only warm or cold air blowing when the heat is all the way on?
Thermostat stuck in the open position or heater core clogged. Replace the thermostat and see where you stand. This would also be a good time to replace any coolant hose that needs replacing and to flush the cooling system and change the coolant. Could also need to change your radiator cap
