If the cooling system ever got real low or dry for whatever reason, you do need to evacuate the air out of it and replace with proper coolant mix for your area/needs..

one of my friends was telling me about something i could use to get rid of air in the pipes... he told me you have to put the tube in and run the car for about 20 min. and all the air would come out....

get some clear plastic tubing. There are two valves in the frunk. On is strait in when you are looking at the front of the car.... the other is right on top of the radiator (you have to take the little cover off). hook the clear hoses up to those and open the valvles 3 turns..... suspend the opposite end of the hose to the proped frunk.

It's all in the BGB under refilling the coolant.
