I would use Rotella 15w 40
You should find out why there is no coolant in the overflow.
Never put tap water into a cooling system, it contains impurities that lead to corrosion. Only use distilled water.
Check for leaks, bad hoses, etc. and then I would check the coolant to see if it is still good. It should ebe changed every 3 years at a ,minimum. Use the regular green stuff. Up north I would mix it 50/50 with distilled water.
Use a Lisel funnel to burp the system.
Thanks yeah i looked to see if there was a full empty mark but there isn't appreciate the help is it fine to just dump royal purple coolant or this requires a fresh flush as i don't know what brand coolant previous owner used.About half, there are indicators molded into the plastic tank marked 'hot/cold' but they are hard to see after years of use.

I love when people don't bother to read my advice and then ask additional questions,Use regular 50/50 green coolant. You do not need royal purple coolant.
Hey so pretty new to this how would you burp the overflow? As i saw some videos of them burping the actual coolant resvoior, if so do i just burp it like a regular fill like the videos for the overflow?I would use Rotella 15w 40

You don't burp the overflow, you burp the radiator. Remove the radiator cap before engine warms up & pressurizes system. With cap off, you can look inside, as air escapes, level will drop. Add no coolant since escaping air will blow it out. When no more air escapes turn off engine & top off. Replace cap & fill overflow to low level indicator.Hey so pretty new to this how would you burp the overflow?
