Coolant Change



I decided that it might be a good idea to change the coolant in my 
car as it has not been changed in the 16 months that I have owned it 
and maybe never! The car has 10,500 miles on it and it just seemed 
like a good idea.

Anyway, I'm not located in an area where there is a service center 
close by and I really didn't want to do it myself as I really don't 
know what to do with the old stuff. Since the car is basically a 
Volvo derivative, engine wise, I went to a local Volvo repair 
center. They came out, stared at the car and told me that they do 
not work on four cylinder cars! I explained that it was a six and 
they asked me who did the modification and what kind of engine it now 
had in it. So much for them as a possible vendor.

I went to the Jiffy Lube place and they said no problem, but they 
wanted me to come back on a hot day because it would take "forever to 
flush." I live in San Diego and the weather doesn't change much 
so....I left with a feeling that I was not going to be able to have 
them do it.

So much for trying to stimulate the local economy. Now, for my 
question. I collect cars and one of my other cars, a Cadillac 
Allante also has an aluminum engine and it requires special tablets 
to be added to the mixture. Does the Delorean require any kind of 
special tablets? If so, where do you get them?
