Engine coolant / antifreeze circulates through your engine to keep it cool in the summer but won't freeze in the winter. Make sure to check your engine when it is cold for an accurate reading. The video above shows you where the coolant reservoir in your MKC is located and how to add...
The coolant systemin a 4.3 liter engine requires a water and antifreeze mix to keep the coolant system running strong through the coolant lines throughout the engine. Flushing the radiator will flush any debris and sediment that have accumulated through the engine and radiator. It is essential th...
Unscrew the cap to the reserve tank and pour the Antifreeze/Coolant in. You can use a funnel if you need to, so you can avoid spilling. (If your reserve tank is empty you should also add some fluids to the radiator itself.) When you have finished pouring in the correct amount, screw...
If you are using a hydrometer to check the concentration of antifreeze in the coolant, keep in mind that the specific gravity of conventional EG antifreeze is different from that of PG (which has a density close to water). So if someone has added the "less-toxic" PG antifreeze to the co...
Most cars have a pressure limit of 14 to 15 pounds per square inch (psi), which raises the boiling point another 45 F (25 C) so the coolant can withstand the high temperatures. Antifreeze also contains additives to resist corrosion. Water Pump The water pump is a simple centrifugal ...

Checking how much coolant your engine has is important to keep your car running right, but it's an easy task that will take a few minutes.
Step 1 - Mix Water and Antifreeze Make a mixture of one part water and one part antifreeze. Pour it into the radiator, filing it up to the rim. Be sure to fill both the coolant or overflow reservoir with the same water and antifreeze mixture. Step 2 - Turn On the Engine Leave the ...
Antifreeze helps to keep engines cool in the summer and running hot in the winter, but what happens when you need to dispose of this toxic but essential chemical?
