Default Question on coolant & plugs for '95 LS400

Our '95 LS400 just went past ~62k and is due for plugs and coolant. Is there anything special I should be aware of? Does anyone know the specific procedure to get the air out of the cooling system after a flush and refil on the V8? Thanks!

For my 99,

You have 1drain by the T-stat area, 1 drain in lower engine block (drivers side), and passenger side of radiator (bottom) . Fill through FILLER PLUG on top of throttle body. top off radiator and reservoir and start car with heat on full for a few minutes. recheck levels and top off.

My manual also suggests de-mineralized water (2 gallons may be enough). I'd premix each gallon 50/50.

good luck
