I use antifreeze mixed 50 / 50 with distilled water in my 1995 Ford Explorer as the
engine coolant as the Owner Guide shows
The coolant system capacity is ( 11.8 quarts / 11.2 liters ) Usually a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water - do not exceed 60 % antifreeze
My 96 corsica does the same thing, so maybe this will help: I have a small coolant leak, and I have to put more antifreeze in quite regularly. when my coolant level is too low, my heat stops working. try checking your coolant levels, remember to use universal or dexcool.
Make sure you are using the correct type of antifreeze. Mixing some environmentally friendly antifreeze with older type "green" can cause gelling. Some antifreeze will gel with age. You may need to flush the entire system and replace with the correct type for your car.
Your coolant mixture could be too light, and you may want to try thickening it by added less diluted or wholly undiluted antifreeze/coolant to it.
A mix of 50% clean water and 50% antifreeze is recommended in most climates. Add only when engine is cold.
Green
it uses dexcool coolant

The overflow resavour is where you add coolant
YOU WANT TO BE CAREFULL WHEN DRIVING W/ A COOLANT LIGHT ON THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO CHECK THE LEVEL OF COOLANT AND ADD IF NES. AND OF COARSE KEEP A GOOD EYE ON YOUR TEMP GAUGE..DO NOT OVERHEAT...
On both the gas and diesel engines they use DEX-COOL antifreeze mixed with distilled water..........
Regular old green type.
