ever wondered how to keep your engine
running smooth it's all about the
coolant first things first safety gear
on gloves and safety glasses are a must
step one pop the hood and locate the
radiator it's usually front and center
look for the radiator cap but don't open
it just yet the radiator cap is under
pressure and opening it while the engine
is hot can cause serious Burns step two
place a drain pan under the radiator now
locate the drain plug at the bottom and
unscrew it to let the old coolant flow
out make sure the engine is cool before
doing this to avoid Burns let it drain
completely this might take a few minutes
so be patient step three once it's empty
close the drain plug now mix your new
coolant with distilled water usually a
50/50 mix works best check your car
manual to be sure some Vehicles May
require a different Ratio or specific
type of coolant step four slowly pour
the new coolant into the radiator keep
an eye on the level and stop when it's
full pouring too quickly can cause air
pockets which can lead to overheating
remember patience is key here step five
finally cap it up and start the engine
with the heater on full blast let it run
for a few minutes to get rid of air
bubbles check the level again and top
off if needed air bubbles can cause the
engine to overheat so make sure they are
all out and that's it you've just
changed your car's coolant like a pro
easy right don't forget to dispose of
the old coolant properly and you're good
to go most auto part stores will accept
use coolant for proper disposal thanks
for watching and happy driving
