what i do is leave one of the hoses to the throttle body off then slowly pour in the liquid should take about a gallon and a half (if you drained the rad before).it will fill then walk away for a couple of min. fill it again .Put the rad cap back on, fill the over flow tank all the way up . Go for a 15 min drive. Park it ck the over flow proably bwill be ok. if not fill to the cool line . all should be good.

Pour coolant in until it's about 1/2 inch from full.
Leave cap off and start the engine, let run until at operating temperature.
Add coolant as necessary.
Put the cap back on, check it after driving around the block.

You are using GREEN, right?
