Maintenance and Specifications • 2.3L coolant bleed valve • 3.0L coolant bleed valve 5. Open the coolant bleed valve on the back of the engine water outlet for the 2.3L engine or the coolant bleed valve located on the upper radiator hose for the 3.0L engine. 6. Fill the coolant reservoir slowly with the proper coolant mixture (see above), to within the "COLD FILL RANGE" or the "FULL COLD" level on the reservoir. 7. Close the bleed valve and reinstall the cap on the coolant reservoir. Turn the cap until it is tightly installed to prevent coolant loss. After any coolant has been added, check the coolant concentration. Refer to the Checking engine coolant section. If the concentration is not 50/50 (protection to -34° F [-36° C]), drain some coolant and adjust the concentration. 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. If you have to add more than 1.0 quart (1.0 liter) of engine coolant per month, have your authorized dealer check the engine cooling system. 241 2007 Milan (mln) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
