every owners manual lists types of fluids and recommended change intervals. if you dont have an owners manual, talk to a dealership. The information should be free from them. Always follow manufactures recomendations, not whats on the jug of antifreeze you just bought! antifreeze companys are in business to sell antifreez. Using manufactures recommendations can help to avoid voiding your warrenty by using the wrong stuff. engineers designate specific properties needed in coolants for the engines they design.
this is normal,because the coolant temp sensor is supposed to be in direct contact with the cooling fluid in order to read its temperature
yes
are you sure it is coolant? is the elbow located on the firewall? if that's the case then it's not coolant, it's condensation from the AC doing what it is supposed to do.
not supposed to be there
probably means u need to change the coolant for the car,leaking coolant sumwhere
No.
The bigger your car, the more coolant you need to put in. The bigger your engine and car, the more coolant you need
If your car is leaking coolant get it fixed and put in the recomended coolant for your car. You should locate that info in the manual, also putting water in the winter is a bad idea since the water could freeze causing engine damage. I supposed you might be able to run it for a while in the summer with just water but get the leak fixed and put in the recomended antifreeze/coolant

"Change the waterpump when it starts dripping coolant out the weep hole or makes noise". - Scotty Kilmer
take of the engine fluid cap and there will be a green or blue rubber pipe with a little rubber csp on. if you just pul off the cap you can put the coolant down there bit by bit but only do it when the car is cool
To change the thermostat in a car, first locate the thermostat housing. Drain the coolant, remove the housing, and take out the old thermostat. Install the new thermostat, replace the housing, and refill the coolant. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and use the correct tools for the job.
