Coolant level should be checked at least once a month. With the engine cold, the coolant level should be even with the FULL mark on the coolant expansion tank. On some models, there is a coolant level dipstick.
| Fig. 1: On vehicles with see-through expansion or overflow
tanks, the coolant level should read at the FULL line with the engine
HOT
|
| Fig. 2: On vehicles equipped with a dipstick in the
overflow tank, remove the tank cap, which is also the dipstick
|
| Fig. 3: Read the level on the dipstick. It should read
at the F (Full) mark with the engine HOT, if not . . .
|
| Fig. 4: . . . place a funnel in the tank opening and
add a 50/50 mixture of water/coolant until a F (Full) reading is obtained
