Do I need to transfer my hoses and cap from the old tank?

Yes. The hose connections and overflow cap are reusable — disconnect them from your old tank and reconnect to the new one. Inspect hoses for cracks or hardening before reinstalling.

Will this tank work with my current coolant, or do I need to drain and switch?

The tank itself is compatible with all standard automotive coolants. If you're doing a straight swap, you can keep your existing coolant — no flush needed unless you're due for one anyway.

What tools do I need to install this?

Basic hand tools only — wrenches or sockets for the factory mounting bolts. The tank bolts to existing points, so no drilling or modifications are required.
