Radiator Coolant Level

Check the radiator coolant level in the plastic reservoir (most cars have them).   The level should be between the high and low marks.

With the engine cool, remove the radiator cap and check the level in the radiator.   If it is low, top it up with the correct coolant concentration, as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer (see your owner’s manual).

If your car is regularly losing coolant, there may be a leak somewhere, which can cause problems.   Get your mechanic to take a closer look.

NOTE:  Never check your coolant level when the radiator is hot.  Always make sure it is cool to avoid serious injury or burns.   And never mix coolants or inhibitors of different brands.
