Take the cap off and let the car get to operating temp and let the thermostat open. Also make sure to jack up the car so that the opening on your resivoir is the highest point(higher than the engine).
sometimes reving it up when its at operating temp helps too i would say 2500rpm MAX should do it
JBO since July 30, 2001
never tryed to jack it up
You could use an aspirin in the stat to hold it open, then fill it up, and as the coolant moves through the system the aspirin dissolves
turned out to be the head gasket it was the original from 96
