[s-cars] Coolant R+R

[Paul Gailus]

As far as filling the cooling system, I like to remove the
engine side of the top 3-way radiator hose so I can fill up
the engine directly through the coolant manifold.
It's right on top so popping it on and off is very easy.
Of course the reservoir needs to be filled as well.
By doing it this way very little if any top-off was needed
after running the engine and letting it cool off.
At least in my experience it took quite a while to fill the
system though the reservoir only, and it seemed to be
difficult to fill completely without at least one engine
warm-up and shut-down cycle.
Also, I just feel more comfortable starting up the engine
knowing it has a full load of coolant, although it's
probably not that big of a deal.
