Coolant: Testing and Inspection

COOLANT LEVEL CHECK
WARNING: To help avoid danger of being burned:
^
Do not remove reservoir tank cap while coolant is "boiling", and
^
Do not remove radiator cap while engine and radiator are still hot.
Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure if either cap is taken off too soon.
To check level, lift hood and look at "see-through" coolant reservoir tank.
It is not necessary to remove radiator cap to check coolant level. When engine is cool, check coolant level in reservoir tank.
A normal coolant level should be between "FULL" and "LOW" marks on reservoir tank.
If coolant level is below "LOW" mark, remove reservoir tank cap and add proper coolant to tank to bring coolant level up to "FULL" mark.
Then, reinstall cap and align match marks on tank and cap.
NOTE:
^
If proper quality antifreeze is used, there is no need to add extra inhibitors or additives that claim to improve system. They may be harmful to
proper operation of system, and are unnecessary expense.
^
When installing reservoir cap, align arrow marks on reservoir and cap.
