And that makes sense.. But I swear after my last clean water flush I poured 1 gallon of water and almost 1 gallon of coolant into the upper hose (disconnected at the radiator) and when I was done, there was water coming out of the radiator.
According to the shop manual the system has a capacity of 11 (units unspecified but I'm assuming liters). Thats a little less than 3 gallons. So I'm a gallon short of coolant somewhere. However, the car now hovers right at 80C so there isn't a huge air bubble in there. So either I was a total space case and forgot to drain the crankcase after the last time, which sadly is a possibilty or the heater loops holds approximately 1 gallon of coolant and it didn't drain when I drained the crankcase and radiator.
