its up on the drivers side of the cowl. fill it up then open these two caps, keep filling until coolant comes out of the first one(engine air bleed) then close it. leave second one(heater air bleed) open, run the car with heater on full blast holding rpms at 2k for a few minutes. youll start getting hot air and a steady stream of coolant from the heater air bleed then close it. set the heater to 75 and idle for 2minutes. then shut off and let car cool, once cool top off the coolant and your good. i just ran the car with the cap off heater on and kept filling the bottle and it was good.

Go to the TECH ARTICLES at the top of the page and look for draining the Lincoln LS cooling system, and the diagram for the V6.

It's the drawing for step three. It's a plastic screw at the end of the tube shown sticking out near the degas bottle. The screw head is star shaped.
