using a vacuum fluid extractor, will help to drain these
areas.

drain the engine of coolant.

8. Slowly fill the cooling system at the coolant reservoir
to the COLD FILL line with 50/50 extended life
coolant. Let coolant drain down, then repeat until the
level no longer drops. Refer to Chapter 1 – General
Specifications for approximate coolant system
capacity.
Do NOT overfill to the vent line ports. This will make
bleeding air from the system more difficult.

9. Start the engine, and allow to run to operating
temperature. Reinstall the pressure cap to the
reservoir. If additional system bleeding is necessary,
slightly loosen the bleed screw on the thermostat
housing and allow to bleed until a solid stream of
coolant is observed, with no air bubbles. Re-tighten
the bleed screw.
