Default Proper procedure for flushing and filling coolant...

I've done this myself on other cars.

Is there anything special required on Jags? On other cars I found that simply opening the drain **** on the radiator doesn't actually get all of the old coolant out. Am I wrong on this with our Jags?

Obviously I will use the high end orange coolant...anything else I should be aware of?

TIA!

Can't help ya a lot on the mechanical side here, but I only use distilled water/antifreeze mix to refill. Tap water leaves mineral deposits in the interior of your radiator.
