ahh you removed the front cover giving you more access.  I only removed the large one under the motor/tranny.  took it out the road for about  mile after about a 10 minute idle.  let it cool and level looks good.  I think we are in good shape.  

thanks for your input.

ok, I'm back and been thinking about my recent coolant change. 

I watched a video where a guy changed his Ford edge coolant in an older model.  He drained it and only about 5 quarts came out.  He filled with distilled water (did not vacuum fill), ran it and drained it.  Then vacuum filled about 5 quarts of premixed. 

fast forward to yesterday, I drained my 2009 mustang coolant and vacuum filled it, it took about 10 quarts (about double the Edge).    This made me recall seeing where the Edge holds about 10.4 quarts.   Therefore I only drained about half of the coolant in the system like the guy in the video?

  

Can anyone explain if that is all that comes out of a 10.4 quart system?  That half of the coolant remains in the engine?  or was there a technique that I missed to get all the coolant out? 

 

Its only a 30k mile coolant change so not too worried. I just want to knwo what is going on with this.
