-Rev the car to about 3K for 10 seconds. Do this a few times to trigger the thermostat.
-Then turn your car off and open the bleeder valve (between the plenum and battery) slowly using a (+) screwdriver. You'll hear bubbling and hissing, which is the air escaping from your system. Note that if you open too fast, then you'll make a mess so go real slow.
-Continue to loosen the valve until the noise stops and you start seeing coolant coming out.
-Close the bleeder valve back up and let the car cool down.
-Once engine the has cooled down, add more coolant to your system.
-Repeat these steps (I stopped counting how many times I repeated these steps) until you only see the coolant coming out from the bleeder valve without any hissing/bubbling.
Hope this helps.
