I have a large oil capture system I was going to put it in. Then bring
it to my local mechanic to dispose of. What I am I suppose to do with
it technically?

Do you know of any other better way of doing it more appropriately, I
am all ears?

Do you think I should just to Mineke/Monroe Muffler or a Jiffy Lube
type place and have them do it? Would the even?
- Request a "Coolant Flush" with no refill of coolant.*
- Then after they did the flush, put some water in it.
- Drive to a parking space within their parking lot. 2 minutes.
- Drain the water out again.
- Pour in the Gasket Sealer
- Run the engine as they say. Takes about 2 hours in total between all
the waiting for cool downs.
- Drain it out.
- Pour in the coolant.
- Then drive home for 15 minutes and let it sit overnight?

Does that sound better?

Does anyone even think this might work?
