I am wondering about your car's history. Is it a one-owner? If not, do you have a maintenance history on it? If the coolant was not changed regularly, perhaps it would be good to perform a chemical flush on the system. I haven't done this in many years, but I think Prestone makes such a flush that you add to clean water after draining the system, run the car for a prescribed period, then drain and thoroughly flush (perhaps more than once)--at which time you then add your coolant as per normal.
Maybe your car has accumulated some gunk in the system that has been released by the new coolant and/or BL, and just needs a thorough cleaning.
