Best Answer

The tank that holds the anti freeze should have a MAX and MIN line on it. Don't exceed or put too little

Additional answer

You may be asking what is the total capacity of the cooling system, or you may be asking what proportion of the coolant should be antifreeze - it's difficult to tell from your question.

The total capacity of the colling system will vary from car to car. You need to consult the handbook.

The amount of A/F in the coolant depends on how much frost you expect to experience. I don't know where you live or what your low temperatures normally are, but if you live in Alaska you'll probably put 50/50 antifreeze and water, but in the UK you' probaby put 25/75antifreeze and water.

Smell of antifreeze but radiator is full?

The smell of antifreeze is very strong and distinct, it does not take much of a leak to smell it. The radiator could still be full and have a small leak. I would check for antifreeze dripping onto the exhaust or on the engine block because when it is hot the smell is much more noticeable from the fumes.

No. The top hose goes to the engine. The bottom hose feeds from the engine to the heater core back to the radiator.

PUT IT IN THE RADIATOR. MAKE SURE YOUR ENGINE IS COOL AND USE THE DRAIN COCKPIT LOCATED ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR RADIATOR TO DRAIN ENOUGH OF THE FLUID TO ACCOUNT FOR HOW MUCH ANTIFREEZE YOU ARE ADDING.
