Drain existing coolant from the plug at the bottom or rear of the radiator
Flush radiator with clean water until water runs clear
Re-fill radiator slowly (to prevent an airlock) with a mixture of 50/50 water and antifreeze
Run engine to normal operating temperature with heater on
Re-check coolant level
Coolant is added in the top of the radiator through the filler under the cap on some models. On the models without a radiator cap, the system is filled by adding coolant to the overflow bottle.
Coolant is what circulates in the engine to cool it. In most places, it is a 50/50 mix of anti freeze and water. If you are asking what do you put in the bottle marked Coolant under the hood, that is what you put in.
1. Remove radiator cap. 2. Place funnel in hole. 3. Pour antifreeze into funnel until radiator is full. 4. Remove funnel. 5. Replace radiator can. 6. Remove Overflow reservoir cap. 7. Add extra antifreeze to Overflow reservoir to full mark. 8. Replace Overflow reservoir cap. 9. Start vehicle and watch temp gauge for 5 minutes, also watch engine area for antifreeze leaks.
This can become a little bit complicated, so you need to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.
IT HELPS KEEP YOUR VEHICLE NOT TO OVER HEAT
It will vary depending on the car. Coolant is in the radiator and the overflow tank is usually on one of the inside fenders. Usually on the opposite side from the battery.
At the radiator or overflow tank. Do not add water, add coolant.
You can buy coolant that is premixed and is added to the radiator without mixing.
You should use three liters of coolant in the Camry. If there is still room to add more fluid, then add water.
follow the owners manual as to when it is time to change the coolant. Get a manual from MOTORLIT.COM
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.
yes, should never add coolant to cold engine
You are probably low on coolant. You need coolant to heat the cabin and cool the engine. Add more coolant and take your vehicle to a shop to find/fix the leak.
You should add coolant with the engine off and cool, top off the radiator and fill the coolant reservoir to the cool or cold level. When the system is hot or running it will be pressurized and will be dangerous to open. You can however add coolant to the overflow reservoir at any time.
depending on what year the car is it will either be to the radiator or to the resivour
you need to add coolant to the coolant resevoir. coolant is antifreeze. if you dont have enough in your car you can overheat and damage your engine.
At the radiator or overflow tank. Do not add water, add coolant.
Maintaining the fluids in the cars is important. A person has to keep replacing the coolant fluid because the car is using it or because there is a leak.
After your car has completely warmed up the coolant level should be at the hot line. If it lower than that , wait until the car cools off and add coolant until it reaches the cold line. Never add the coolant directly to the radiator as you may over fill it.
Off and cooled down. Putting cold coolant into a hot block can crack it. And it can damage the radiator, as well as spitting the coolant back at you.
No , it's best to add coolant when the engine is cold
i have the same car. ya just go ahead and add it to your radiator while running
