If you are speaking of a radiator in an automobile, there is a plastic bottle on the side of the radiator, and it is marked for the fluid level; "ADD" or "FULL". The cap on the bottle will say "COOLANT ONLY" or words to that effect. Do not overfill. Older model vehicles you will add water to the radiator itself. Remove the radiator cap, slowly, and pour in the water. NEVER REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP IF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING! Wait until it cools down.

In most newer cars, you add it to the overflow tank instead; in some of them, it's next to impossible to add it to the radiator itself. You should only add water when the engine is cool (ambient temperature).

It is no longer necessary to add just water to a radiator in newer cars like the 2005 Malibu. An antifreeze that is half water and half antifreeze is usually best. Add the 50/50 antifreeze to the radiator overflow tank. It should be a plastic, see through tank hooked to the radiator.
