In fact, this afternoon I started it, turned on the heater, took it out of the garage, and then let it idle until hot (near mid-scale on temp gauge. I then took it out on the interstate for a "supercharger run." Once on the interstate I opened it up full throttle several times and the supercharger engaged, no problem... I then brought it home, let it cool down for 30 minutes, and then drained the antifreeze using the same method as describe above. What I got out was 8.1 quarts, just like before, though with even less color than before. I then filled it back up with distilled water and parked it in the garage and plan on doing the supercharger run tomorrow. The good news is that the fluid always looks near perfect, the car runs flawlessly, and I don't have any cooling system problems, so I'm not complaining. Just wondering why I only get 8.1 quarts out each time, and thinking that I may be doing something wrong procedurally.
