to get air out u can just fill it to the top.. then grip ur upper rad hose and squezze it a few times....this helps somettimes.... just do it a few times... if the level drops just keep filling it up till the level doesnt drop much

Crazee-eyes- So at 100K, I need to do more than a drain and fill correct? SHould I go to the dealer and do a complete system flush to change the fluid in the block? I just have paying a dealer premium prices for hoses, etc..

truely i beleive if you do a drain and fill it is better than a system flush. Reason being is the machine will not recover all the fluid anyway. Approx 75 to 80 %. Not to mention what is sitting at the bottom of the radiator. Drain and fill , run it around the block , drain and fill 50/50. Squeeze your hoses if they feel crunchy they need to be replaced. We recommend upper / lower radiator hoses with a new thermostat and gasket @ 100k . Yes its a little pricey (piece of mind is priceless)
