When I changed out the thermostat I used Prestone 50/50 mix. Replaced the cap with a new one. Then bled the system till I had a smooth trickle with no bubbles coming out of the bleed screw. Before the bottom hose was cold and top was hot and after they are both hot now. But it seems like the coolant is moving over to the overflow now and leaving the radiator about a half inch to an inch low. Thats why I think it could possibly be clogged since the old cap was shot maybe some of it is still inside and I didn't do a good enough job flushing it. Oil looks fine with no leaks anywhere. No white smoke either.
