funnels systems are cheaper on the usual sites. They screw into the coolant system so you fill the funnel and it feeds as bubbles exit the system. When you are done put in the funnel plug remove funnel and drain leftover back into the bottle.03 Marauder DPB, HS, 6disk, Organizer Mods> LED's in & Out, M&Z rear control arms, Oil deflector, U-Haul Trans Pan, Blue Fuzzy Dice

I think I'm going to go with Evan's coolant. ( https://www.evanscoolant.com/ )
I'm tired of gasket and heater core failures due to the nature of a pressurized system.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

If you're looking to spend a decent chunk of money on a thing to refill your coolant system, what you want is an airlift. It vacuums the system down which is useful for leak checking. If it holds vacuum, there are no leaks. Shut the vacuum off, switch hoses, and it just sucks coolant out of a bucket. No air bubbles, no burping, no bullshit. Absolutely wonderful tool to use. Scott has one and one of these days I'll buy one for myself.

Only trick is you need a source of compressed air and a reasonable volume of it. Wee little compressor ain't gonna do it.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Kinda the same trick I do with a hand vacuum pump. I fill the system then open the flush T on the highest heater hose and suck the air out of that, put the cap back on the rad/tank, then release the vacuum and top up the flush T (usually an ounce or 2) and cap that. Then open the rad/tank again and top it up.

I bought one of those vacuum deals that work on the air compressor. It's awesome. I had to have it for the Escape, but I use it in everything now.1990 Country Squire - weekend cruiser, next project

I’ll have to invest in an airlift tool when I get a new compressor…looks pretty neat. I picked up one of those Lisle funnels a few years ago. Works like a champ and keeps the coolant from spilling all over while you are waiting for the thermostat to open.
I decided to go with the Zerex Original Green coolant. It’s good for 5 years. Hoping to get the flush done this weekend if I have time.
