Thanks for the quick reply!

Did you have any problem getting air out of the system?

Like I mentioned before, I tried to drain mine, but not enough came out, so I figured i'd fill what I drained with water temporarily, and do the job the correct way later on... But every day after arriving at work, I have to pour some of my water bottle to get the reservoir back to the full mark.

Is there a bleed valve somewhere maybe? or a better way of getting the air out?

thanks

Getting the air out is a bear. No bleeder valve. Just add water or coolant until the recovery tank is full. I kept a gallon of water in the vehicle just for this purpose.

Not sure when it started but the '09s have a bleeder valve.

Drain Plug block heater

Is it possible to install a block heater in this drain plug hole.
If so, any suggestion on brands/part numbers?
