Default To flush and fill or no...

1993 F2. Hasn't ran in at least two years. She's runnin now! But, should I flush and fill or just top it off? The coolant is at the lower line on the tank currently. What to do?

Flush and fill. It's easy and will give you peace of mind. Watch out for the gushing coolant when you remove the drain bolt.

Ok. I'll change it. Is there a special coolant or just regular 50/50?
