Changing Anti- Freeze

Is there and easy way (like a drain plug)to change out the Anti Freeze on my 670 and 583? I want to do it now so they are ready togo in the fall. Do they recommend 50/50?

Also, what brake fluid to they call for?

i would test the A/F first, it does not go bad, and if you have the proper freeze protection, let it go.

use only DOT 4 brake fluid., otherwise double check on the master cap, it should tell you on there which to use.

Ski-Doo recommends 60/40 (60% antifreeze, 40% water).

Best way to drain that I know of is to use a turkey baster, or hand pump (most auto parts stores sell them). Get as much out of the coolant bottle as you can, then just loosen one of the lower hoses and let it drain.

Use regular anti freeze, NOT the Dexcool red stuff. In a one gallon jug it comes in, fill it 60% up with antifreeze, fill the rest with water.
