How do you add coolant directly into radiator?

Don't! Most cars have a reservoir for radiator coolant ... add liquid to the reservoir. Opening the radiator cap introduces air into the sealed system ... you don't want air bubbles in the cooling system.


Is the radiator reservoir on the right side of car and is that the only place to put the radiator fluid?

On my '96, the reservoir is indeed on the right (passenger) side of the car. And I'm darned if I can find a radiator cap on the radiator. It's the only place I've ever put coolant, and it's where I added some liquid based stop leak stuff. Perhaps one of the others can illuminate us a bit. FriPilot


How do you put coolant into a radiator?

You don't add coolant directly to the radiator, rather it goes into an overflow reservoir in the engine compartment. There will be a "min" or "max" line (or both) showing the proper level to be maintained. The reason we do not remove the radiator cap anymore is to keep the coolant system a sealed system so that no air can penetrate the coolant systems. By adding coolant through the reservoir (which has liquid in it already which is drawn from the bottom of that reservoir) we are not comprising the sealed system.
