Best Answer

Most modern vehicles have a plastic bottle connecvted to the radiator. You take off the bottle top and fill the bottle to a line marked on it. You put in a mixture of anti freeze and water, the amount of A/F in the mix depending on where you live. In the UK you'd probably want to have a 25/75 A/F - water mix.

Do you add coolant to the reservoir or the radiator?

If there is a cap on the radiator you can check to see if the radiator is full , and if it isn't , " top up " the engine coolant . Otherwise , you check the engine coolant level at the engine coolant reservoir when the engine is cold and maintain the level at the cold mark


Can i have n engine diagram for a 92 civic to figure out where to add coolant?

You add coolant by opening the radiator cap (when the engine is cool of course). Fill it up to the top just under the filler neck.There is also a catch can, a clear container that is connected to the top of the radiator by a rubber hose. It "catches" coolant when the heat of the engine expands the coolant. Fill that up to the "MAX" mark.

Why would coolant not enter engine after changing head gasket?

The thermostat is closed, I usually prevent this problem by removing a heater hose or other small line that is near the top of the cooling system on the engine and then fill until the coolant is full inside the engine, then replace the hose, top up coolant and test run.

The coolant add/overfill jug is on the left side of the motor when your looking at it. Add coolant up the closest line towards the top, and only when the engine is cold.


Do you have to drain the coolant to replace the thermostat?

You will have to drain part of the coolant. Try to drain as little as possible and fill up before restarting the engine. No, the thermostat is usually at the top of the engine block (placed between the top input hose and the block). If, however, the radiator is full of coolant, there will be some spillage. Also, make sure the coolant has cooled down before replacement, and do periodically replace the coolant as needed.

The coolant level is checked at the coolant tank in the passenger front corner of the engine compartment . The coolant level should be up to the cold mark when the engine is cold . The radiator should be full so its covering the top plate .


How do you add coolant to a 2001 Chevy Lumina?

If starting from empty pull the top radiator hose off the engine and fill the radiator until coolant starts to flow from the engine hose bib. replace and tighten hose. Fill the overflow tank with coolant. Locate the vent on the coolant hose bib (brass fitting), start the engine and allow coolant flow to purge the air from the system. When coolant flows steadily close the vent. Re-top up the overflow tank.
