Coolant Question

95_gts · Jul 21, 2008

I've got a 95 gts basic bolt ons and just bought the All Makes All Models Prestone, but I've read this may not be the best for my car...Any suggestions? Also I've never added coolant does it go in the "screw-in sealed coolant" cap on the right side of the engine? or in the cap near the front/radiator part of the engine?

I'm new to this, thanks.

The "Screw-in sealed coolant" cap? Don't know that one. The only places coolant should go is in the radiator cap right next to the battery on the driver's side of the engine (the "right" side when you open the hood). On the passenger's side in the front is the radiator overflow tank, and you can add coolant there as well. Be aware there are "fill" marks on the coolant tank, so fill coolant to the line shown if the engine is hot or cold.

To claify, the coolant tank is the preferred (only) location to top up coolant levels. Filling throught the radiator cap would only work if the system has been drained and once filled the coolant reservoir would need to be filled to the cold level.
