Radiator coolant change 2003 vette
I want to change my coolant because my owner manual recommends changing at 45000 miles, I don't have a shop manual yet and don't want to mess up. Are there any tricks such as air bleeds on the engine block or can the radiator be drained and refilled with out any problems?
Thanks Ron

Don't know what owner's manual you have, normal service is 5 years or 150,000 miles ! Yours is due on time.
To bleed air, fill tank to cold fill level and rev motor alternately to 3,000 rpm until temperature gets to 210 F. Do this 3 times, ending with coolant 1/2 inch over cold fill line.
