For those that don't want to pay for the special funnel, some funnels will fit snug in that radiator opening. If the funnel is too narrow you can increase the diameter by wrapping electrical tape around the funnel shaft to make the funnel fit snug, so it won't leak. When you squeeze the radiator hose, use a piece of rag to plug up the funnel hole. Push it in there with a stick. Release the hose and pull out the funnel. It won't leak and you should be able to pour it out without making a mess.

That last tip about squeezing the hose when you put the funnel plug in was really good. On a lot of other videos, they don't squeeze the hose and then make a mess.

Yup

You forgot to turn the rear heat to the max, the rear heat core needs to be burped.

With the radiator cap on and the reservoir cap off blowing into the reservoir got almost all of the fluid out. Just my experience 5 minutes ago.

We call that Coolant here in Houston. Zero risk of freezing.

That old coolant fluid looks bad. Does doing it in future few more times get mixed in remove more of the old out?

What about bleaching the air out
