I think I might need to add coolant to my vehicle, does anyone know where to put it in a 2001 licoln ls? Could you please describe the spot to a T………


Answer:
Typically you always add coolant to the reservoir tank while the engine is cool. The reservoir tank is usually on the passenger side of the engine compartment (check your manual) near the top of the fender about 1/3 of the way from the headlamp to the firewall (passenger compartment). The reservoir tank is plastic, usually a yellowish translucent material and has a minimum and maximum line to help prevent over or under filling. The cap , most times says “coolant” on it..

Coolant can be added when the engine is warm, however you need to recheck later as the liquid will contract after cooling. Most new cooling systems don't have a pressure cap for adding coolant, as compared to older systems.

Typical coolant to water ratios are 50% to 68% (70% for ease of use) coolant, with 68% being slightly superior. Check the coolant manufacturer bottle for recommendations. Most times adding straight coolant will suffice until your next system drain and refill.

P.S. Please check your spelling, it will help others find your question.


Answer:
Look in your owners manual, it will tell you.
