Default Coolant Flush

Hey guys just a question about flushing my whole cooling system. I am changing my T-stat so I figured I would do a full flush. My question is how do I fill the whole system with 50/50? I understand I could fill the radiator, but does that fill the "whole system?

You have to keep filling. I take off the radiator "spud" and fill radiator, and the coolant jug to the mid point and idle engine, with right tire on a ramp or curb. When coolant comes out the radiator from expansion I put the plug back in. Goal is full system and no bubble sounds under the dash.

No, you just use 50/50 premixed coolant. Comes that way from the store. Get the green color.

Like Buzz said buy the 50/50 premixed stuff, you will need 3 gal.
I use Wal-Mart brand, it is actually Peak.

You fill the radiator, then fill the coolant tank, then bleed the system.
