Re: How do you change the Coolant??

[Elliott Potter <epotter@abraxis.com>]

To replace the coolant:
-Drain the coolant using the engine drain plug and the drain plug at the
lower left section of the radiator.  Not sure where the one on the
engine is, but you'll probably see it.  I think it's near the middle on
the front of the engine.
-Remove the expansion tank cap
-Open the heater hose bleeder screw.  The bleeder screw is located in a
large water pipe on the right hand side next to the temp sensor.

-Pour coolant mixture into the expansion tank
-Watch bleeder screws and tighten as soon as coolant runs out
-Fill the expansion tank until the level reaches the upper edge
-Put on expansion tank cap
-Start the engine and let it run at idle until the radiator fan comes on
at least once
-Raise the engine speed to 2000 RPM for about 30 seconds
-Turn OFF the ignition
-Check the coolant level in the tank, top off if necessary.
