How to Check & Add Coolant 

This is both the shortest and the most informative video on this topic I could find. Perfect in both respects. Bravo

I'm not car savvy at all, so I was looking up how to do this before I tried to make sure I didn't destroy anything. Yours is one of the few videos that isn't condescending to either women or anyone who doesn't know cars, so thank you!

I realize this was 7 yrs ago but THIS is all I needed! Thank you! Too much precious time watching how to "fix the problem".... I just need to add coolant and my late husband always did this, I never paid attn. lol. So thanks again!! 👏👏

Information was to the point and accurate. Wish all automotive videos were like this. Thank you!

Straight to the point and perfectly understandable. Thank you.

Oh my goodness. He was so informative with this process. I appreciated all the tea he gave.

Thank you for this Im definitely going to do this I realize that learning to do all the things yourself can save you alot of trouble and money

Thanks mate just helped a guy in 2023 from England much love ❤️

Honestly. Helpful. I am not an amiture, just seriously helps for good practice to sit down and review with somone else because of an abundance of reasons. Tough to explain, just works really well. RU-vid community is a life saving tool set for me. And also seems to be working for other people who like to share their work efforts with others! God bless

This short video is concise, direct, to the point, and very informative.

Best video so far out of a dozen that I’ve watched so far.

Thank you for posting this video thank you!!!

Thanks John Smoltz!

Thank you very much!😊

You rule! Thank you!

Didn’t know John Smotlz was a mechanic now. That’s cool.

Way to go Dave!!!!!!!!

this video saved my life lol I just got my jeep and was about to fill that shit up lmao. Thank you my dude

Thanks. I will try this as my first step. I have a thermometer guage that's all the way to the left (cold) I went to the corner store and on the way back heard a swoosh sound. I parked the car raised the hood and didn't see anything. Both the heath and air are working and nothing is leaking. I'll go now to check the coolant reservoir.

I noticed you said you can mix universal with all. Even dexcool?

Thanks so much.

What if I need to dilute my coolant? Do I do it separately or just do it in the car?

Good day sir! Just want to ask it is ok If I have full a coolant 1 inch above over the full level..thanks a lot.. mabuhay ka

Thank you

Thanks again Dad

Thanks virtual dad ❤️

Do I need to start the car and let it run for a little bit before putting the reservoir cap back on

thanks dave

Everything but How long should I let the truck sit to cool off

I thought you had to mix 50/50 with water, if not a pre-mix? Is it because it is just adding a little that it is no big deal to run concentrate?

Is it normal for the overflow to make a hissing noise when you open it when its cold? Also the coolant level rises when i open the cap.

As i add coolant, it lowers further. Help?

My Toyota has no cold fill line. It simply has a line that says low and a line that says full. The manual says to check it when the engine is cold. It says to fill it to the full line. When the engine is hot it may be above the full line but the level is only applicable when the engine is cold.

When to add it to radiator?

What can you tell what the coolant level is when your expansion tank has become opaque, from ageing?

Cant get the cap open so I added coolant to the overflow

Do we need to use a funnel?

thank you this help my dad and I alt we are not Ford guys mom likes the Ford's :)

My honda manual says change every 100k

👍

Hey guys, I own a 2018 Camry SE with 27k miles on it and I noticed today while the car was completely cold (it’s winter here) that the coolant reservoir is almost at the low fill line. It’s suspiciously low for a car with barely 30k miles. The car has not been driven for about 3 months now, before that it was driven consistently for about a year working Uber in NYC. Just wondering if this is a genuine leak and if im toast since I’ve idled and driven quite a bit. I didn’t see any leaking signs of this on the exterior so I checked the dipstick and saw no milky residue on it either. Just regular dark brown oil. I ordered the Toyota specific coolant I found in the owners manual and wanted to know if I can just simply just refill coolant between the low and max lines (on a cold engine of course) and check to see if it depleted again. Or perhaps just go straight to the dealer? Thanks!

So is that coolant or coolant mixture he's putting in?

Stupid question: if I don't have coolant can I just add water for short-term solution? Thanks.

I ended up doing this but 10 to 20 min later it went down completely

Is it okay to add water?

Thought the car supposed to be running when you add coolant??

It's summer now guys becaredukn

Thank you. I just won a $100 bet with my husband.

Poured it like a man no funnel lol

You look and sound like John Smoltz

That’s checking your reservoir

I thought u was suppose to mix with water?

What happens if you overfill ?

24 um's in a 2:15 speech.

I just put coolant in my oil reservoir 😳💥🤦🏻

thanks daddy :3

Lol. No such thing as "Universal Coolant". That's a marketing ploy for knockoff (aftermarket) coolants.
