Here are the steps to ensure proper coolant/antifreeze usage:
Coolant Type: Use a green ethylene glycol-based coolant.
Mix Ratio: Mix the coolant with distilled water in a 50:50 ratio for most climates. In extremely cold climates, a 60:40 ratio (coolant to water) can be used for additional freeze protection.
Capacity: Check your owner's manual for the exact cooling system capacity, but it's generally around 12-16 quarts for these vehicles.
