Yes but you should check both if you have a rad that opens. If the rad is low it will be drawn in immediately leaving no reserve and it is intended as a reserve.

How do i add water to the radiator in a 2005 Malibu?

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.

Always check and fill from the rad neck. If your car is equipped with a reservoir tank it will be attached by a hose to the neck of the rad. Follow it to find it.I hope this helps you. Mark
