Coolant after radiator flush...

...is suposed to look brand new, like the color green on crack, right???

Just making 100% sure before I tear into the MF-ers at the place that charged me $79 for a radiator flush.

edit: oh, right now the fluid looks green/brown.

It should look super green, after it sits overnight is there any black or brown ring around the bathtub in the overflow tank ? if so you could have a bad head gasket.

The tank looks okay, but just like it did before, like it needs fresh coolant.

It's a 99 with 68K and the temp gauge runs just below halfway, even in the summer. Since I'm getting a bonus soon, I just thought I would do something nice for the L.

nah, they seemed pretty dumb, but before they started, I pointed out that the other reservoir was for the S/C and that it was self contained from the radiator.
