Cooling System: Service and Repair

To be performed after cooling system has been drained, flushed and is ready to be refilled.
1. Fill cooling system with a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water, to just below the filler neck.
2. Fill the coolant recovery reservoir to the specified fill mark on the outside of the reservoir.
3. Run engine with the radiator cap removed until normal operating temperature is achieved.
4. With engine running at idle, add coolant to the radiator, until it reaches the bottom of the filler neck.
5. Cycle the engine to 5000 RPM, then back to idle at least five times. This will help expel any air trapped in the system.
6. Replace the radiator cap. Arrows on the cap must line up with the coolant recovery reservoir hose.
