I think I'm still looking for the answer to my question. I don't want to buy a $100 coolant vacuum tool.

So the question is "Can I drain and refill the coolant system the old fashioned way if I'm willing to go through a few burb/refill cycles until the reservoir is stable?" Or is the design of the coolant system such that manual filling/bleeding is virtually impossible?

I realize it might be a PITA not to use a vacuum tool but is it realistic or even possible to do it the old way.

I'm tired of buying tools for every vehicle I own. Like an oil extractor for my MB Bluetec , an extractor for my DEF fluid , special click-r pliers and clamps to change the fuel filter, Durametric software just to turn off a "Service Engine Soon" light on the Boxster S, etc, etc, etc.

Just had to vent. It's time for the revolution.....
