On a 1997 Lincoln Town Car :
With the engine cool , antifreeze and preferably distilled water is added
to the engine coolant reservoir ( located in the engine compartment , near
the firewall , on the passenger side of the engine compartment )
* The thread on cap on the reservoir is your pressure cap / radiator cap
* it came from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix of distilled water and GREEN color antifreeze ( meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A ) Ford states not to exceed 60% antifreeze in the mix
50/50 mix of water and coolant is recommended.50/50 mix of water and coolant is recommended.
add 50/50 mix of coolant and antifreeze or buy premixed from local auto parts supplier
Never add water, add coolant, which is a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. Add it to the overflow or recovery reservoir.
Raise the hood. There is a pressure cap on the coolant expansion tank located to the extreme right and close to the firewall as you face the windshield. It takes a 50/50 blend of antifreeze and water.
At the radiator or overflow tank. Do not add water, add coolant.
You should add a 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water.
To add water to the radiator on a new beetle, first remove the lower radiator hose. Then add water to the coolant reservoir.
You can check the coolant reservoir when the engine is cold, if the coolant level is below the add line top it off with the proper coolant, not just water. It is not a good idea to add just plain water. You should use at least a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze.
You can add it to the coolant reservoir. It's located in the top left corner of your engine. Make sure your car is cool before you add in the antifreeze.
It is usually best to add the correct mix of antifreeze and water (usually 50/50). In a situation where there is no antifreeze available, yes, add water, then check the coolant later to see if the mix is adequate, and adjust the mix if necessary.
In most cases a 50/50 mix of straight coolant and water is sufficient. Read the directions on the coolant container and adjust to your weather needs.
You don't, unless you are flushing the system. Use distilled water and add it to the coolant recovery bottle - and it needs to be mixed with coolant.
