Do you need to dilute anti-freeze before putting it in coolant reservoir?

Typically yes. A 50% mix each of clean water and straight antifreeze is recommended for protection to -34 degrees F. You should have the present coolant tested to see where you are protected to and add accordingly.

It will bubble (soapy). remove the bottle & wash it out & top it up with the correct coolant before you drive it. If you already have driven it you should get a cooling system flush $50-80.00
My 1999 Ford Mustang GT coolant sensor light is on and coolant is full. Is the sensor replaceable or do I need to replace entire coolant reservoir?
The low coolant sending unit is integral to the coolant reservoir. I just called two dealers, they were both $117 for the reservoir(!!). Before replacing, try cleaning the contacts on the connector, and also try cleaning the sensor in the reservoir with a long bursh before spending that much money.
Where is the coolant reservoir drain on a Pontiac Firebird 3.4 v6?
The drain plug should be located on the lower right corner of the radiator, it is about the size of a nickel with raised ribs that form a cross. You should attach a rubber hose to the radiator drain before opening the drain plug, this keeps antifreeze from splashing out. Antifreeze is a corrosive, that will burn your skin, and destroy your body paint.
You put antifreeze in the car the next evening you put the car in park and the antifreeze ran out of your 1996 Cadillac Seville you did have enough for it to run over what happened?
It may have overheated and boiled over. It may be a small leak in a hose or the water pump. You'll have to find out where it's comming from before you can figure out what is going on. If the car is sitting for a while, check the coolant reservoir for leaks.
Why does the low coolant light flash on 2002 Pontiac Montana?
The coolant level sensor in the coolant reservoir detects the coolant level is low. The coolant system must have a leak in it somewhere. Have a trusted mechanic diagnose it soon before you do damage to the engine.
Low coolant light keeps coming on.?
maybe your just low on anti freeze I would take i tto your mechanic to check it out because if there is an underlying problem it could cost you your engine May I add: If you're not losing fluid because of a faulty gasket or leak to the exterior, read the following: Often an overlooked sensor (the Low Fluid Sensor in the Radiator Coolant Overflow Tank) is the culprit. If you are not continually losing coolant, it's safe to say that you don't have any form of leakage. Unlike the sensory switch located at the rear of the radiator, fixing an issue attributed to a clogged "Low Fluid Sensor" can be quick and painless. You might not need to remove and clean this particular sensor --- simply repositioning and cleaning the sensor by GENTLY turning it back and forth a few times (while it remains in the reservoir tank) and making sure that the reservoir coolant level is correct will resolve the problem. If you find that the light stops coming on, you've isolated the issue. Now, drain the old antifreeze and replace the antifreeze with new antifreeze. Oh and while you're at it, remove and clean the interior of the coolant reservoir and remount it before you replace the antifreeze. Done. Happy motoring.

Do you have to drain the engine coolant before replacing a water pump on a 96 cav 2.2 I mean is the coolant going to pore out after I take the pump off?
Most, if not all, the coolant in the radiator reservoir will pour out when you pull the water pump. Drain the radiator and save the coolant (if you plan to re-use it) before removing the water pump.
