I have a 91 Ford Escort that has two caps. one is on the radiator itself and one next to it that says coolant only. how do I know where the antifreeze goes? does a mixture of coolant and water go in the radiator or does only water go in radiator and coolant in the other one? I have never seen an engine with this. could you help explain it?

How do you change antifreeze in a Mercedes?
To change the antifreeze on a Mercedes, locate the drain plug on the bottom of the radiator. Drain the fluid into a pan and refill it.
Why do you have to change antifreeze?
The antifreeze provides corrosion protection and gradually becomes acidic as the corrosion protection declines
If you don't change your antifreeze for years does can it create damage?
The corrosion protection package in the antifreeze does " wear out " so if you do not change the antifreeze / preferably distilled water mix the coolant mix will become acidic and not provide the corrosion protection that is required
How often should you change your antifreeze?
Standard antifreeze should be changed every two years. Long life antifreeze needs changing every five years.
Is adding antifreeze to your radiator a chemical or physical change?
Adding antifreeze to your radiator is a physical change because the antifreeze retains its chemical composition and properties when mixed with the water in the radiator. It does not undergo a chemical reaction to form a new substance.

Why doesn't antifreeze freeze?
Actually, antifreeze will freeze. It just freezes at a much lower temperature than ordinary water. But it can freeze, and the chemical structure of antifreeze is such that the molecules will not change state (liquid to solid -- freeze) except at the very lowest temperatures. A lot of thermal energy must be removed from antifreeze to cause the molecules to "hook up" and the stuff to change state into a solid. It's based on the nature of the chemical structure of antifreeze.
Does hard water affect antifreeze color?
Hard water can cause antifreeze color to change due to mineral deposits and impurities from the water being mixed with the antifreeze. This can result in the antifreeze appearing darker or discolored. It is recommended to use distilled water when mixing antifreeze to avoid color changes and ensure optimal performance.
