You simply unscrewed it so that the air escaped as you filled the radiator. Once full, tighten it, run the engine for a few minutes to move the air around, and then carefully loosen off the nut again to release any trapped air. Once nothing but coolant starts to come out, tighten it, and the system has now been bled.

What coolant do I use for my car?

Cars made after 1998 normally need antifreeze that uses silicate-free, organic acid technology (OAT). These types of antifreeze offer better corrosion protection so that parts don’t need to be changed as often. Cars made before 1998 usually need antifreeze that isn’t OAT-based and that does contain silicate.

Is glycol the same as antifreeze?

Is antifreeze the same as coolant?

Well, antifreeze and engine coolant are similar, but not the same. Antifreeze is a concentrated, glycol-based liquid that must be diluted with water before use – at which point it is referred to as coolant. Engine coolant is a mixture of antifreeze and water, with a common ratio of 50:50.

What is the difference between Type A and Type B coolant?

Therefore Type A coolants will keep your cooling system from rusting and deteriorating as well as providing a lower freezing and a higher boiling temperature. Type B coolants contain only inhibitors for rust, corrosion & cavitation.

Can I mix water with coolant?

The short answer is no, you can’t mix tap water with engine coolant. Distilled water can work, but it is not ideal. Soft water is the best solution.

Can I use Type B coolant?

For older vehicles Type B is adequate. Type B protects against rust and corrosion and does not contain Anti-Freeze/Anti Boil. It is important to remember that you should not mix coolant types in the radiator and that modern vehicles have very specific requirements.
