For vehicles with overflow coolant systems with a non-pressurized cap

on the coolant recovery system, add coolant to the coolant recovery

reservoir when the engine is cool. Add the proper mixture of coolant and

water to the “cold full” level. For all other vehicles, which have a coolant

degas system with a pressurized cap, or if it is necessary to remove the

coolant pressure relief cap on the radiator of a vehicle with an overflow

system, follow these steps to add engine coolant.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury, make sure the engine is

cool before unscrewing the coolant pressure relief cap. The

cooling system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come

out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly.

1. Before you begin, turn the engine off and let it cool.

2. When the engine is cool, wrap a thick cloth around the coolant

pressure relief cap on the coolant reservoir (an opaque plastic

bottle). Slowly turn cap counterclockwise (left) until pressure begins

to release.

3. Step back while the pressure releases.

4. When you are sure that all the pressure has been released, use the

cloth to turn it counterclockwise and remove the cap.

5. Fill the coolant reservoir slowly with the proper coolant mixture (see

above), to within the “cold fill range” or the “cold full” level on the

reservoir. If you removed the radiator cap in an overflow system, fill

the radiator until the coolant is visible and radiator is almost full.

6. Replace the cap. Turn until tightly installed. (Cap must be tightly

installed to prevent coolant loss.)

After any coolant has been added, run the engine for a few minutes to

mix the coolant. Check the coolant concentration. Make sure the engine

is off and cool before removing the coolant pressure relief cap (see

preceding steps on cap removal). Check the concentration per the

Checking Engine Coolantsection. If the concentration is not 50/50

(protection to –34°F/–36°C), drain some coolant and adjust the

concentraction. It may take several drains and additions to obtain a 50/50

coolant concentration.

Whenever coolant has been added, the coolant level in the coolant

reservoir should be checked the next few times you drive the vehicle. If

necessary, add enough 50/50 concentration of engine coolant and

distilled water to bring the liquid level to the proper level.
