    Default To flush or not

    Can-Am says flush and refill at 28K miles. Busted that. Any comment on doing it or not. And is it difficult to do yourself?

    If it's brown, flush it down. If it's yellow, then let it mellow.

    Caution, many broken drain knobs! Raise & release the lower radiator hose. Still possibly tight area for small hands.
