Which antifreeze to put in my van

Hello,

I have included the information that you requested in the diagrams down below. I have included information on not only what type of coolant goes in your vehicle, but the capacity as well. Please get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,

I did the flush and put new antifreeze in and went ahead and put a new thermostat in as well do you know what the normal temp should be it seems to be staying between 215 and 217 degrees when the van is all warmed up

Hello again,

203 degrees is the temperature the thermostat starts to open at so I think your vehicle's is working perfectly. Don't forget that when you add antifreeze to your cooling system the boiling point raises to around 250 - 260 degrees, not 212 like straight water boils at.

Thanks,

So as long as it’s under 250 I’m good because it goes a little over the half way mark and jumps back to the half way mark

233 seems to be the temp when warmed up

Looks like it is leaking some where I put 3 gallons of antifreeze in and it was almost empty when checking this morning

Hello again,

Okay, look for an area that is really clean, or looks "washed". Check all hose ends and clamps, bottom of the water pump "weep hole", radiator cap, heater hoses and clamps, heater core(inside floorboard wet), and if you can't find it with a good visual inspection, then go to the links below.

Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you find out. If you still can't find anything we will have other things to test. Let us know.
