    I'm a mechanic and with CARS after you put coolant you let the vehicle run with cap off to let air pockets out and to make sure it's topped off. Just my 2 cents.

      And, to get the mixing Ratio correct; He should have filled it with Coolant, let it run, and then Drain it --- so that way the remaining Distilled Water is flushed out. Then, fill it with new Coolant, again, "burp" it, and then top it off... At least, that's what I'm going to do! - Gotta keep it 'Cool' (😎)!

      @@hugoguimaraes9807 burp it means getting air bubbles out. Run it with the cap off and you can squeeze hoses to help get air out.

    The service manual also calls for disconnecting the water pump inlet hose for a complete drain. Not sure if that makes a big difference or not?
