Last time I did this was 4 yrs ago. Runs perfectly cool, no bubles, and hasn't lost a drop.

+ 1 on getting flamed...
But almost three years ago I installed a center radiator on the CS and someone at the Cayman Club recommended filling the system up with the proper mix, starting the engine and let it idle until got warm (open thermostat), they after letting it cool a bit, then open the cap and refill the system, I did this several times until no more coolant was needed.
Up until now I have not got any issues (knock on wood...)
PS; you Must have the heater valve open all the way...
