Coolant

Im approaching the 5 year mark on my 2011 dodge ram 5.7.

I have about 30,000 miles. Well below mileage. Dont drive much

Should i flush coolant as it sYs to do at 5 years?

Was think of using the delta sonic flush. Pretty cheap

Do i put the orange back in?

Also spark plug change intervall seems low. Are you guys changing evey 24000 miles?

Im all about maintenance

It's not gonna hurt to flush the coolant, use the OE stuff. So the orange long life. As for the plugs, your 2011 will have copper plugs, which are a good plug just don't last as long. Go by the interval in your owners manual.

Ok ill check with delta to see what they use and get for the flush

I wouldn't worry about the coolant if you only have 30K. It's a sealed system so unless you open and close your radiator cap all the time. It shouldn't be contaminated.

Now copper spark plugs are supposed to be changed every 30K according to every Ram owner. I changed mine at 60K and they looked fine really. It's up too you

my wife's calls for plugs at 30,000, going on 50k and she is still getting the same mpg's as new. I will change them before the long vacation drive as we are not taking anything registered to me lol
