The factory service manual suggests use of a vacuum tool to presumably remove any air pockets after doing a coolant service. Can I simply drain and fill the radiator and overflow reservoir, then top up coolant as required until the level no longer drops? I believe the vehicle has its original fill of coolant at 88k, so this should have been the second change by now (60k, then every 30k). Perhaps a radiator drain & fill will not be sufficient? Should I opt for a flush instead?
