I use this for all the cars. One of those "right tool for the job" no-brainers.

You get 50% of the coolant out by opening the radiator drain. The other 50% gets out by removing the block plug which is also the location for then block heater. I did this so I know first hand also this is what manual says. I also did just the radiator swap so I measure how much came out of radiator. You must also burp the System be milking or massaging the radiator hoses for a pretty long time. Also help if front is inclined while massaging.

I guess the coolant overflow, the heater core, the lines, and hoses and housing make up 0% of the rest of the fluid you didn't get.

Most all dealerships and shops do a drain and fill. Nobody pulls out plugs and hoses unless they have never worked on a car before and are reading off the internet.

Misinformation.
