Do you put water in your coolant reservoir?
yes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can in an emergency , but it's best to use a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and preferably distilled water to provide freeze , boil , and corrosion protection for the engine cooling system . The corrosion protection " portion " of the antifreeze does " wear out " so change the antifreeze mixture as recommended ( Ford says to not exceed 60 % antifreeze in the mixture )
How do you change the antifreeze?
I have a 91 Ford escort that has two caps. one is on the radiator itself and one next to it that says coolant only. how do I know where the antifreeze goes? does a mixture of coolant and water go in the radiator or does only water go in radiator and coolant in the other one? I have never seen an engine with this. could you help explain it?

The corrosion protection " portion " of the antifreeze does " wear out " so change the coolant mixture as recommended , also Ford says not to exceed 60 % antifreeze in the mixture

Why do you have to put orange colored antifreeze in your 05 silverado?
Chevy says that the orange antifreeze STOPS corrosion and cools better then any other color. That is still to be proven to me. You can put ANY color you want too in it as long as you don't MIX the colors. There is a type of antifreeze that they sell and say you can mix it with any color but I don't like that ideal. Put orange back in it if that's what is in it now. It is very HARD to get ALL of the antifreeze out of the system / ENGINE So you can change the color.
