In order to fully clear out the system, you need to either disconnect the front rads at the bumper, or blow the coolant out using compressed air. Otherwise all your drain out is around 3-4 gallons

I did a full flush with distilled water and then refil with 50/50

If you can get a airlift to use, it will save you a lot of time and actually fill the system without air bubbles
