When adding radiator fluid are you doing it with the car running and with the heat on full blast?

One of the critical steps is waiting for the fan to come on twice. This typically takes 40 minutes or more in U.S. winter temperatures.

The owner's manual has the procedure for bleeding. Or use http://www.autozone.com/shopping/rep...0615b5#hd1-1-3
