What is the coolant filler cap?

The coolant filler cap can be located in two places....depending the model of vehicle. On late model cars, it's located usually on the left or right side of vehicle in the engine compartment. Usually its a clear plastic tank with hot or cold markings on it. And the top of tank has a cap on it usually with the word coolant on it. On older cars, its located on top of the radiator which is in front of the engine. Normally located on the left side of radiator. It will usually be made out of a hard plastic or metal with the words caution..underpressure...or coolant, etc.
