Forscan may be used to make the change.I also have a 19. This is a dumb question, how are you able to see the exact temp the engine is at? The temp on my cluster just shows the blue bar but no digits..

It uses coolant from the engine’s radiator. There is a heat exchanger under the transmission.Reading through this thread I’m wondering if not purging the cooking system could have caused my transmission temperature spike. Does anyone know if the transmission has its own completely separate cooler or does it share with the radiator?
My shop manual has both vacuum fill and without a vacuum fill. I followed the manual with the front uphill and on ramps. I also squeezed the coolant hoses. I have towed since then and haven’t seen any bleed issue. If I remember correctly, the bleed procedure takes 1/2 hour to 45 minutes.These engines can be difficult to bleed properly. A trapped air bubble may cause a spike in temperature and high pressure that can lead to leaks.
The shop manual only recommends using the vacuum fill procedure for the coolant.
The old style thermostat is also known to fail and cause slight overheat after coolant change.
Honestly I didn’t see the other procedure in the manual, but the manual is huge!My shop manual has both vacuum fill and without a vacuum fill.
