Hello Everyone,
I drained the block and radiator on my FZJ80 and had a total of 4 gallons of used coolant.
Replaced the thermostat/gasket, and all 3 rad hoses.
I used 2 gallons of Toyota Red and 2 gallons of Distilled Water for a total of 4 gallons.
I filled the upper radiator hose first then the radiator, started the vehicle and kept filling the radiator (bubbles I tell you).
The vehicle was in a slope, got to the operating temp but how come my radiator is filled to the very top and I'm left with about 1 gallon of red left?
If 4 gallons were drained, shouldn't the system have room for 4 gallons? SMH
*Heater was on full blast for about 10 mms while the engine ran.
Thanks in advance.
