Why is antifreeze required to be added to an engines coolant?
Antifreeze helps the engine run cooler in the hot months and prevents the coolant from freezing in cold weather.
Should you see coolant in your reservoir?
Yes , mine has a cold and hot mark , the coolant should be up to the cold mark when the engine is cold
Where do you safely poor engine coolant into your 1999 ford ranger?
The reservoir has two level lines - one for "cold engine" and the other for "hot engine". If the engine is hot, and the coolant level is low, fill the reservoir to the "hot engine" level. When the engine is cold and the level is low, I usually" top off" the radiator and fill the reservoir to the "cold engine" level.
Where is the heat regulator in your Ford Escort?
Actually, the heat regulator for the engine is the thermostat. It closes off the coolant when the engine is cold and circulates more coolant when the engine is hot.

Off and cooled down. Putting cold coolant into a hot block can crack it. And it can damage the radiator, as well as spitting the coolant back at you.
Do you put antifreeze directly into the radiator of a 2005 impala?
Yes. First top up the radiator then fill the overflow reservoir to the "HOT" mark if the engine is hot or the "COLD" mark if the engine is cold. Be CAREFUL when you remove the radiator cap on a hot engine. The coolant is under pressure.....
How do you add coolant to a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am?
