50% anti freeze and 50% water is the usual mix
=To properly flush the antifreeze on a 2002 Yukon you will need a antifreeze vacume system you will need to start the car and have it running turn on all the heating modules to high and have the car reved at about 1.5 r.p.m, or a little higher to activate the vaccume this will start sucking the old antifreeze out. When the radiator is empty{you will know when it is empty because there will be no more antifreeze coming out}you can then fill it up with half and half antifreeze[half water half antifreeze].=
ITS 10.5QT...make it a 50/50 mixture. so take half of that amount as your water and the other half your antifreeze and your all set .you can add a little to your overflow also
the antifreeze runs through all your water lines in your car . . . . you put it in your water tank or radiator
It should have a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water in the engine cooling system all year round . Besides providing freeze protection the antifreeze provides corrosion protection ( until the corrosion inhibitors are " used up " )
Probably all of it. Unless the volume of water in the system is known, it is impossible to know how much to remove and how much antifreeze is to be added to achieve the proper mixture. The correct mix is 1/2 water, 1/2 antifreeze at a minimum, but ideally, the mixture should be 70% antifreeze with 30% water.
If you mean the water in your radiator, don't drive your vehicle until it thaws or your engine will overheat because no coolant will be flowing through it. You should keep 50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water in your car radiator at all times. (maybe slightly more antifreeze in cold winter weather) Water in the radiator won't freeze with antifreeze mixed with it.
Almost all of it, yes.
I had the same probs with my 96 sunfire and after doing this the heat gauge dropped towards the middle and stayed: Change out the thermostat. Then... Drain your radiator and shoot water through it to clean it out (you can do this by unhooking your radiator hoses and sticking a hose through one and turning on the water while your engine is running). Then, make sure you get 2 large bottles of antifreeze (remember to get the half water half antifreeze) Then put the antifreeze in your radiator resevour and run your car and keep adding to it as the radiator sucks the antifreeze back in and it stops sucking. Make sure you watch the gauge after all this and if it goes up, check your water level and see if you need to add more antifreeze. Since the thermostat is replaced, your fan should also work! This should def. fix your problem! If not then check things such as the head gasket, water pump, rotting hoses, leaking resevour.
Check Your Waterpump
some people have said you should and others have said you dont have to. I myself have never put antifreeze in the during installation in all the years i have worked on cars
Fill it till all the cooling veins are covered with antifreeze and distilled water depending on you environment.
You should use the correct antifreeze as listed in your owner's manual. There is 3 types of antifreeze, Ethylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, and HOAT antifreeze. These will be of a different color. Green, orange, yellow and possibly others. Don't rely of the color. Never mix these together. In your Honda, which uses long life antifreeze, either use Honda or use Zerez Asian Vehicle coolant. Avoid universal coolants that claim to meet all specifications. Also mix your antifreeze with distilled water and not tap water. To be absolutely sure just buy Honda Antifreeze and you will know it is the correct coolant. It will cost very little more.
