Air in the system, bleed bleed bleed. When you think you've done it enough, do it again.

There's a plastic cap near the passenger side of the firewall that has a big Phillips driver notch. Take that cap off, take the radiator cap off, turn on the car and fill the radiator until you see coolant running thru that bleed line. Do that about 17 times and you may have all the air out. If not, do it again. Haha our cars are a pain when it comes to bleeding the coolant system.

Have someone sit in the driver seat and keep an eye on the temp.

Not new coolant if you just put it in. Just more. No special funnel is needed, no. Those funnels just make it a bit easier.

Yeah, fill it to the max line and keep filling it as it sucks it up.

As he said, the Spill Free Funnel kit makes the process go by so much quicker.

If you have a sedan as I fear you do (and hope lol) there's a way to make it a quicker process. Just takes a bit of skill and knowledge. Typically to air out the car the proper way it'll literally take 1/4 of a tank of gas and even then in the morning you may have to recheck it before turning back on.
