    50/50 coolant is actually best even for extra cold weather, it's because the coolant molecules need equal part water in order to actually become "anti-freeze" love your videos

    Why are you changing the channel name so often? It's kinda hard keeping track of your channel.
    Why not create a poll on UA-cam and ask the community to name it for you?
    I'm sure we could come up with some clever stuff.
    :D
    P.S. I petition to name it Rotors McRotorface!

    Another easy way to burp the system is to remove the end of the coolant hose that goes to the fast idle cam on the throttle body. I recommend using some 3/8 inch hose pliers since it tends to get stuck on there. This will allow air to release as you fill the system and squeeze either of the large radiator hoses. I've found that I hardly have to add any coolant later since this method helps you get more in in the first place. The only downside is that you may have idle issues the first time or two that you run the car afterward since you could end up with air stuck in the fast idle cam instead of coolant. The fast idle cam has a wax pellet in it that changes shape with heat and indirectly adjusts the idle, so without coolant reaching it, it'll stay stuck open. If this happens and your car continues to idle high even with the temperature gauge reading warm, rev the engine lightly for a bit or go for a short drive at low speed. The problem more or less has to fix itself.

    What's your thoughts on running a thermostat that opens at a lower temperature? I'm in south FL and summer can be hot. I've seen mixed thoughts..

      I've ALWAYS used OEM, but over the years I've had people swear by using 160 degree thermostats. I figured it would be kinda counterproductive to cooling. Just though I would get another opinion but I just got a "no" lol

    You forgot the easiest cheapest problem to fix: a busted radiator cap that does not hold pressure will act like that too.
