Radiator complete drain and refill.

Radiator complete drain and refill.
Okay, I drained the radiator and pulled the water pump drain- but I only got about 5 quarts out of it. What gives? The service manual says 7.9 quarts. Thanks, slantram.

The t-stat blocks the flow. It is a circuit, if there is a block in the circuit......
Sorry about the manual, they must be assUming.
I think the service manual (at least the 2006 MY) only covers the official coolant exchange method.

My manual gives a "Static Fill"-drain the radiator and water pump. Don't quite understand the Tstat blockage thing. the Tstat is just a thermostatic valve between the block and the radiator, not a separate circuit.

That's the point. NOT a separate circuit.
But, anyway don't agonize over it. Once you flush it all the old stuff will be gone, and the flushing instructions do include remove t-stat.

Oh, and make sure your hoses and clamps are good before re-filling. You don't want one to let go right after you've done all this...
