Want to change out the coolant in our '03 Focus before winter. I've
found some postings that say it's a simple drain/fill operation, others
talk about extreme difficulty getting air purged and subsequent random
overheating.
Any Focus owners (Dan?) done this?

One other thing I noticed... when you drain the system from the radiator
petcock, you get about 1 gallon out; the cooling system capacity is 6
quarts, so there's still 2 quarts left in there somewhere.
Meaning if you want to do a really complete change of coolant, you'll
need to do a few
