You are mixing up the instructions, and confusing the term "flush". When you are circulating the VC-9, it needs to be driven for 1 hour. When you are just circulating water (without t-stat), it is 5 minutes in your driveway.
There is a difference of opinion around here on whether to remove the t-stat before using the VC-9. I say it should be removed, because I know it does not fully open until 219°F. It does not even start to open until 195°. I would rather have full circulation through the engine, even if it is at a somewhat reduced temp. And by the way, the workshop manual agrees with me. But whatever, I guess it will work either way.
