fill .
We have owned the car , not quite 2 years . It has set on the lot for around 200 days before we bought it .
Went down to Wally World and bought a gallon of 100% Dexcool . Pulled the radiator hose off of the water pump , after I had removed the cap from the pressurized coolant reservoir .
The hose has a bend like a " p-trap " and I did not get all the coolant out of the radiator / block . Let it drain for about 15 minutes . Re attached the hose . ( Do I hate factory spring clamps ! ) Re-filled the reservoir , squeezed both radiator hoses to burp air out of the system . Repeated until I was no longer getting any air to burp out .
This left the reservoir over filled . Had Wifey start the car & looked for leaks . Found none . Praise the Lord !
Wifey left on an errand . Will check fluid level & for leaks , when she returns .
I have read all kinds of things , good & bad , about Dexcool . This is my first experience with it . I suppose we will see , in time . It looked , maybe a little dirty ? Hard to tell if I am seeing a little rust or the orange dye .
I have used the cheapest green coolant , in all my other cars .
God bless
