Your car's radiator needs a mixture of water and antifreeze fluid. Typically referred to as "coolant," this vital mixture is what your car needs to consistently keep the engine running cool (a must!). To help ensure trouble-free travel, you should completely remove and replace this radiator coolant mixture every two years to help reduce rust buildup and avoid associated problems. 1. Place a two-to-five-gallon open container under the radiator. 2. After you've let out any built-up pressure and completely removed the radiator cap, you're ready to drain the coolant. 3. To drain, you may either need to open the drain fitting (see your Vehicle Owner's Manual for location), or remove the lower hose on the radiator
