Default 2003 Rav4 coolant flsuh?

A few months ago my fiance's RAV4 had the radiator and a/c compressor replaced due to a fender bender.

A cadillac dealer did the repairs because I have GMAC insurance, and if we took it there it was guaranteed no hassle, just pay deductible, plus 2 year warranty on the work. Believe it or not they did an awesome job.

The only thing that I just realized yesterday is that they put green coolant in the radiator instead of the red Toyota stuff.

I want to get the green stuff out of there, but I am guessing that I need to do a flush. Is this possible to do myself, or should I just bite the bullet and take it to the dealer?

The green coolant is fine. Flush and renew it every two years.

Learn how to do it yourself. You'll know more about the vehicle, save a lot of money, and sometimes get a better job done.
