Fill the cooling system with coolant to the bottom of the
fill neck in the radiator fill (or expansion) tank.
NOTE: Some radiators have two fill locations, both of which
must be filled when the cooling system is drained.
Install the radiator or expansion tank fill cap.
Operate the engine until it reaches a temperature of 82°C
[180°F], and check for leaks.
Shut the engine off, and allow it to cool.
Warning: Check the coolant level only when the engine
is stopped. Wait until the coolant temperature is below
50°C [120°F] before removing the pressure cap. Failure
to do so can cause personal injury from heated coolant
spray.
Caution: Do not add cold coolant to a hot engine. This
can cause engine casting damage. Allow the engine to
cool to below 50°C [120°F] before adding coolant.
Remove the radiator or fill cap, and check the coolant
level. Add coolant if necessary.
