Best way to fill a cooling system is to use a vacuum fill tool(unsure of exact name). I got one coming from our MAC guy this week for like $90. Otherwise fill the radiator and over flow to level and run with heat on vent and fan on high. Check your temp gauge and heat regularly. When gauge reaches operating temp the stat should open and draw in remaining needed coolant. Fill reservoir up to the proper level as its drawing in coolant. Do all this with the radiator cap off. Once it's done drawing in coolant, the temp is holding normal, and you have good heat you should be good to go. Cap it off, let it idle for 10ish minutes and recheck heat and gauge. If its normal your good to go.
