Can you add more water to 50 50 radiator coolant if you're low if so will it be a temporary fix or do you eventually have to get fluid?

Is transmission fluid the same as coolant?
No. Transmission fluid lubricates the transmission. Coolant is used by the radiator to cool the engine.
Where do you put the radiator fluid in a Chevy 2004 silverado 2500hd?
Pour the coolant in the radiator.
My 1990 Nissan maxima will not shift out of first and will not go into reverse plus the fluid looks like milk?
The transmission fluid cooled by routing it through the radiator. The fluid probably is a milky color because the radiator had failed internally allowing the coolant and transmission fluid to mix. Check the coolant and if looks milky change the radiator, coolant, and transmission fluid.
Does power steering fluid go into the radiator?
NO just Coolant
What green fluid is in a Chevy Malibu?
radiator antifreeze coolant.
What would cause the coolant and transmission fluid to combine and be visible in the overflow for coolant?
broken radiator
Where do you fill the coolant?
Under the hood on the left side in most cases there is a place to put in radiator coolant.. It is usually next to the windshield wiper fluid... It says radiator coolant on it
How do you add coolant to Honda Accord?
Coolant is added to the overflow bottle instead of the radiator. The overflow bottle will allow fluid to fill over into the radiator.
The radiator has transmission fluid inside which should you change first the transmission fluid or the radiator fluid on your 97 ford explorer and also what is the torque spec and sequence.?
You need a new radiator if you have trans fluid in the radiator. Getting trans fluid in the radiator isn't such a big deal...just change the radiator.....the worrisome parts is getting coolant in the transmission. The radiator has a transmission cooler built in and it is separated with a wall of aluminum - the coolant and trans sides should never mix. First! You need to drain and remove the radiator and replace it with new fluid. If you got trans fluid in the radiator, it very likely means you got the inverse....coolant in the transmission. You also need to flush and drain the transmission. Also, you need to flush the transmission cooler lines out for any coolant. Coolant in the trans is often the death of a transmission. Make sure you use the right fluid in the trans. That vehicle takes Mercon V fluid - don't put anything else in there or you will have problems potentially.
Is antifreeze the same a radiator fluid?
Not quite. Anti-freeze is the undiluted liquid that you mix with water (usually 50:50). The proper term for the mixture is "Coolant". I would say that "coolant" and "radiator fluid" are synonymous.
Why do you have oil in your coolant recovery tank but your 2003 Pontiac grand am still runs good?
Your radiator is probably leaking transmission fluid into your coolant. Trans cooler is built into the radiator. Replace the radiator.
How do you fix water leaking into transmission fluid?
Coolant? Bad radiator Radiator has a separate cooling tank (usually at the side or bottom of radiator) for transmission fluid. At times this tank ruptures allowing coolant to get into transmission. Most times causing a transmission failure.
