3. im unsure about what the torque specs are on the drain plug and the thermostat housing.
4. im unsure if this forum has ever agreed on the ideal coolant flush cleaning additive stuff to use in the car.
On a side note id like to mention that the radiator hoses are much lower than the heater core, i think draining the radiator would also drain the heater core
Edit, ignore point 3 i found the torque specs in the FSM
The coolant reservoir just lifts straight up. Wiggle it side to side a little as you lift. It makes it easier to check coolant level this way.
