You don't. Wait for the engine to cool down to avoid getting burned before you open radiator cap.
Remove the radiator cap when the engine is cool and add the coolant into the radiator or you can add to the coolant overflow bottle. DON'T remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot!!!
You can do it either way. If you add it to the radiator, make sure you open it carefully when it is hot to prevent burns.
Open the radiator cap when the engine is cool, check the radiator's fluid level, and add appropriately. NEVER OPEN A RADIATOR CAP WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT OR OVERHEATING. Check your car's owner's manual for specific details.
It doesn't have one per se. The antifreeze overflow serves as the car's radiator cap. If you need to add antifreeze, add it there.
It is no longer necessary to add just water to a radiator in newer cars like the 2005 Malibu. An antifreeze that is half water and half antifreeze is usually best. Add the 50/50 antifreeze to the radiator overflow tank. It should be a plastic, see through tank hooked to the radiator.
Check your antifreeze. When you remove the radiator cap (make sure the engine is cool) there should be some antifreeze at the top of the radiator neck. If you don't see any, then the level may be too low and you'll have to add some antifreeze.
yes you can?
The radiator overfill tank is the only spot to fill the radiator. There is no fill cap on the radiator itself.
To the overflow tank and if the radiator has a cap,you will need to fill it with the engine cold.
Whenever it needs it.
When the engine is cold you can add to either the radiator or the coolant recovery bottle.
You add to both the radiator cap and the overflow bottle.
