Fill with engine coolant (EC) to the radiator filler neck.

If air bubbles come up to the radiator filler neck, replenish with EC repeat until the EC level does not drop any further. Install the radiator cap
and stop the engine.

Replenish EC to the "MAX" line on the reservoir and leave as it is until the engine gets cool.

After the engine gets cool, start the engine and make sure there is no water running noise heard from the heater core while the engine runs at
3,000 rpm.

Should water running noise be heard, repeat the same procedure from the beginning.
