Be aware that you might now have an air bubble in the system which will cause the coolant to puke out again on your run home.
You can prevent that by lifting the chromed D ring on the bleeder valve into the vertical position to help burp the air out of the system before your drive. This is how you can get rid of excess air when you get round to changing out the coolant.
