You want the good news first or the bad news? Well the good news is that the hydraulic fluid reservoir is independent of anything else... does not combine with brakes or anything. The bad news is.. how much water? It can be sucked out with a power tool made for just that purpose, to withdraw fluids from power steering reservoirs and such. Or even a turkey baster will pull it out, it does not hold a lot. But it does need to be removed from reservoir and any residual water that is in the lines and fan driver might be ok... or might have to be done 2X or 3X. And use MerconV ATF ... as for the strawberry milkshake it is supposed to be red/pink normally.. but no foam

I'd like to thank larry quigly for the gas advice and silveysales also. You guys helped me so much. Now I have another question for you guys if you can help. I just had the dealership do a tune up. I.E., spark plugs and coils. Now prior to the tune up, the car had NGK spark plugs and coils before it burnt out. I noticed good if not great gas mileage when those were in. Now the dealership changed the spark plugs and coils. They installed bosch platinums. Don't konw if they're the regular platinums or platinum plus. Should I continue to leave it with bosch platinums? or should I switch out the bosch for NGKs? please advise. I love my Lincoln LS and want to get the best gas mileage out of this V8 monster. 1 Answer

I like the bosch platinums but for some reason they don't last long. they didn't last long on my eclipse and im questioning it if I should have these bosch spark plugs removed to place NGK's in them.
