When I put the heat on full blast, do I use the Econ setting or the Auto? or doesn't it matter?
When I put the cap on should the coolant be all way to the top or should there be a little space?
When I turned the car off after about 15 minutes the heat was blowing hot and the temperature gauge was still normal, which I am taking as a good sign. It used about a gallon and a half of coolant. I used the Preston 50/50 premixed bottles. Anyway I am done for now and heading to the ski slopes (in my other car). Later I will take another shot at getting the air out and fixing the fan wire properly.

The air pockets will work themselves out, dont sweat that. Just leave the reservoir overfilled so it has the extra coolant available for when the cooling system draws fluid back on cooldowns.
