Adding
Coolant
(2.0~
~4
ENGINE)
To
Check
Coolant
When
your
engine
is
cold,
the coolant
level
should
be at
FULL
COLD
or
a
little
higher.
When
your
engine
is
warm,
the level
should
be at
FULL
COLD
or
higher.
Your
engine
also
has a thermostat
housing with a pressure cap.
This
cap
and the thermostat must be taken
out
to add coolant.
To
Add
Coolant
If you
need
more coolant, add the
proper
mix
at
the
thermostat
housing,
but only when the engine is cool.
1.
When the engine is cool, remove the
thermostat housing pressure cap and
the thermostat.
Without
pressing
down
on
the
pressure
cap,
turn
it slowly
to
the
left until it reaches
a
"stop."
If
you
hear a
hiss, it means there is
still
some
pressure.
Wait
for
the hiss
to stop. Then press
down
on
the
pressure cap and continue turning it
to
the
left.
Remove the pressure cap.
Take the thermostat
out
of
the housing.
2.
Add the coolant
mix
to
the
thermostat
housing until the level reaches the
thermostat housing pressure cap seat.
3.
Put in the thermostat. Be sure it
is
fully seated.
4.
Put
on
the thermostat
housing
pressure
cap.
When
it's tight, the arrows
on
the
cap should line
up with
the radiator
inlet hose
on
the
thermostat housing.
