On my 99 sunfire it is directly to the back/side of the alternator; very easy to spot
A 1996 Pontiac Sunfire uses Dexcool coolant. This should only be mixed with distilled water, never tap water. Replace the coolant every 2 years or as needed.
whaT KIND OF COOLANT DO I PUT IN MY 2001 PONTIAC SUNFIRE Generally, the GM model vehicles, or is this case, the sunfire, use a specific kind of coolant called DEX-cool extended life engine coolant. It is orange-ish in color and most of the time GM specific. i have a 01 sunfire, 2.2 liter myself, and on my car frame, i have a sticker that says "Use only DEX-cool engine coolant....". Hope this helps!
Coolant is all pretty much the same from manufacturer to manufacturer. Check your owner's manual to find out the right mixture for your Sunfire
it's getting too cool, really
Around 90-100C or 195-210F, if it's running any warmer than that try doing a coolant flush
Fill your coolant reservoir and the light should turn off. Do it soon or your engine may over heat.

The Pontiac Sunfire with a 2.2-liter engine typically requires about 6.5 quarts (or approximately 6.2 liters) of coolant when including the coolant in the engine and the radiator. It's always a good idea to check the owner's manual for specific recommendations, as coolant capacity can vary slightly based on the model year and any changes made during production.
