The engine was run for some time after refilling to clear air bubbles or whatever and the dash gauge said 180 so it seems like the T stat would have been open.

I'll see what happens when it cools down and if it draws the small amount of coolant in the overflow tank back into the engine. That is part of the 12 qts, though.
