Could be that it has been two years - time goes by faster when you get older?

1) I don't know about altitude, that's why I'm asking. We are at about 2400ft. SJ was about 85ft

2) Very funny.

3) And no. It got black very quickly. I don't remember this happening in SJ.

Yeah I overfilled it. Puked a bunch everywhere while running.

It’s not that humid where you are is it?

Altitude has nothing to do with it - I was just seeing if you were payen attention -

Seriously, I would guess that the fluid is becoming darker sooner because as parts wear contaminates, due to parts wear, become more common. Also, warn parts would allow more moisture to enter the system.

See, I CAN be serious -

Did you follow JR's priming and level check procedures?

Not really. But my thermostats tell me moisture is at 92% outside with a temp of 25°f right now.

I only put about 1000 miles since I last flushed it and it looked new. Car only has a hair over 30k miles.

No, I had to fudge it since I didn’t have help and overshot the amount. I checked it yesterday with help and got it right now.

Hopefully no damage. There have been cases of units ruined from not being primed.

I saw a video from Rotrex that now they are putting a priming bulb, same as on an outboard motor fuel line, in the line to prime them.

I primed it. I then wasn’t paying attention and just filled the tank so it puked a bunch out.

I had the cap sitting on it to check it and it pushed some out when I rev’d it.
