What is the process for fill the coolant?

Hi,

After replacing the hose, first fill the radiator with coolant slowly, replace the radiator cap, and then fill the reservoir to the full mark. Next, turn the heater on high and start the engine. Allow it to reach operating temperature and make sure the heater is producing heat.

If you look at the pics below, they are from my manual explaining how to drain and fill the engine coolant. These directions are specific to your vehicle.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

See pics below.

Hi,

When coolant and motor oil mix, it creates something like you described. Take a look at pic 1 below. That is an oil cap showing what the oil looks like when contamination exists. Is that what you are seeing? Also, could you take a pic and upload it for me to see?

Let me know.

Hi,

You are fine. It may be a good idea to flush the cooling system while you have it apart. What you are seeing is simply due to age and use. I was a bit worried at first. LOL

As far as pic 3, no sensor goes there. That simply looks like a place something was supported to such as wiring. No worries.

Here is a link that shows how to flush the cooling system. If possible, do this while you have it apart.

Please feel free to ask any questions you have. I goal is to get you back on the road as easily and inexpensively as possible.

Take care,
