pretty much the title.

I was filling up what i thought was the brake fluid and I accidently poured it into the radiator coolant will this cause a major problem instantly or will it be okay? I am going to get new coolant in 2 days and drain it if i have too.

thanks

    “Brake fluid is very corrosive and it will eat into metals, so flush the cooling system and replace the coolant.”

    From google

    So it sitting there is already doing damage, should flush it as soon as posible

    Lmao sorry but this is funny. Maybe next time you plan on doing anything to your car look at the manual first. Definitely get that stuff out as soon as you can

    At a bare minimum, drain the system and refill. Please do not drive as the brake fluid will damage your engine.
