When looking through the front grille at the HX you will see a vent plug in the upper left corner. Use a long 3/8" extension to open the plug to let air out as you fill. When you see coolant at this plug close it and continue filling. The first fill will go fairly well with about 70% going in. (Pour in slowly so the air can bleed out) Then start engine let it idle about a minute then shut off and check level. It may take six or so times to do this. Then drive a bit to warm up the system and check after it has cooled off. Top off as needed. Use a 50/50 mixture of Dex-cool or approved coolant. There should be no air in the system when you are done. Be sure and check all your connections for leaks.
