I have a warning light on my 1984 300zx it looks like a carousel or something on the right side of the dash what does it mean?
Radiator Coolant level in the overflow bottle is low. Fill the overflow bottle with coolant. If you have coolant in the bottle, the switch is stuck. Remove the whole overflow bottle and clean with some CLR (calcium, lime, rust) remover.
How do you know if a 1994 geo prizm has antifreeze?
Look in the overflow container. Is it clear (water) or has a coolant color (usually green) ? Does it feel like plain water or slightly fluid feel ? If overflow or radiator have orange rust color, recommend clean cooling system & replace with new coolant.
Can you mix dirty coolant with clean coolant?
no
What happens if the coolant in the overflow tank gets too full because it isn't getting sucked back into the radiator properly in a 1999 Plymouth Neon?
Coolant is pushed out of the radiator and into the overflow tank as it heats up and expands. The liquid is drawn back into the radiator as it cools and contracts. If it doesn't flow back the radiator will only be partly full (at least until the coolant warms fully again). The potentially large air gap left at the top of the radiator leaves metal parts open to corrosion. In extreme cases the engine could overheat. The fix, easy. Just replace the defective radiator cap and be sure the path from radiator to overflow tank is clean. Cheers
How do you check the coolant in a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue?
Check the coolant level in the overflow bottle. It is a clear(ish) plastic bottle with a flat, black cap on it. There should be a hose going into it that starts at just below the radiator cap. There should be two lines on the bottle, one marking the full level when the coolant is hot, and a lower one that marks the full level when the coolant is cold.Check the level with the engine off.If you need to add coolant, pour fresh coolant into the overflow bottle, NOT the radiator itself. You should use a 50/50 mix of Dex-Cool extended life coolant and clean water. Using the green, ethylene glycol coolant can cause damage to your cooling system.After you add, drive around for awhile until the engine has reached operating temperature, then shut the engine off and check the level again. Top off if needed.

How do you clean a Taurus handgun?
It depends on which model. It's better if you check the owners manual. If you don't have one, call Taurus, they will send you another one.
How do you flush the radiator on a 2003 Chevrolet Impala?
Drain the coolant either by undoing the bottom hose or using the drain cock. Then fill with water. Run the engine until it is at normal operating temp then drain again. Do this until the coolant is clean. Then refill the radiator either by the radiator cap or overflow tnk. Run until at operating temp then recheck the level and add as needed. That's it. Good luck.
How do you add coolant to a car?
Drain existing coolant from the plug at the bottom or rear of the radiator Flush radiator with clean water until water runs clear Re-fill radiator slowly (to prevent an airlock) with a mixture of 50/50 water and antifreeze Run engine to normal operating temperature with heater on Re-check coolant level
Can you reuse your antifeeeze coolant after you take it out of your car?
Yes, if the coolant is still clean and has not been in the system for long. But if you are changing the coolant at the recommended mileage of your cars manual then it should not be reused.
Low coolant light on but not low on coolant?
the sensor could be dirty. clean off the accumulated crud with a toothbrush and if the low coolant light still remains on then the sensor will need to be replaced.
