Trevors #TipTuesday - Change the Coolant

Trevors #TipTuesday - Change the Coolant

When it’s time to change the coolant - which prevents your engine from overheating or freezing or getting corroded - remove any necessary bodywork to gain access to the coolant drain bolt, then place a drain pan under the engine and remove the bolt. To make sure everything drains, remove the radiator cap. Once the process is complete, reinstall the drain bolt. Use a funnel to refill the system with the appropriate amount of coolant. Put the radiator cap back on and reinstall any bodywork that you’ve removed. Start the engine and allow it to warm up for a few minutes before cutting the ignition. Once the engine has cooled, remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level. Add more coolant, if needed, to reach the amount specified in the owner’s manual.
