This video saved me big time! My car overheated on a route with no cellular reception. I inched my way and finally found a house that was kind enough to let me use their landline. Got towed to the nearest gas station where there was finally reception. Watched your video. I didn't know what it was supposed to look like after I took off the radiator cap. Most sites say that you should only fill the reservoir. It was 105 degrees consistently where I was traveling and I had no idea my radiator was so low. After watching your video, I realized that I had to put coolant in both the reservoir and the radiator. Thank you so much! You saved me big time!
Excellent video. Very refreshing to see a diy video where the explanations are clear, without any rambling or confusing statements, and the camera work is steady without any shaking or moving around aggressively.
Very good instructor! You not only tell "what" thoroughly for someone like me who doesn't know, you also explain "why" for better understanding. Thanks bro.
Hey! I needed to put water in the radiator & I have never done this before. I was too stubborn to call anyone else. So I found your video, and it was so easy. Thanks so much for the info and the easiest way to get the job done! You're an absolute blessing! I subbed, because this little thing gave me so much confidence. You really do explain it well, and also show how to get the job done. I can't thank you enough! It may seem silly, I only put gas in my car, but I feel worlds better knowing that I have an option to at least try minor things. Even putting the cap back on correctly was cake because of you! Thanks again for your time and help. Be well! 🤗😄 🙏
CEN CAL dang that was 8 months ago.. well i called a tow truck and waited for around 5 hours. He never came. So since it was night time and pretty cool outside i decided to risk it and drive home. Made it and then took car to shop the next day
I'm watching this video in November 2023. My car has overheated. I've got coolant etc with so i'm watching this video while my car cools down. Thankyou for this clear and easy to understand video 😊
Excellent video. I don't have to be a mechanic to understand. Thank you for a clear explanation. I'm on my way to help a friend with an overheated car.
Excellent....good, basic information for the non-mechanic...not too technical and showed clearly what you were talking about. (And it helped that you were working on a car just like mine....perfect!)
A well done video. Thoughtful, informative, and a real service. Excellent to teach all your children about this important good habit to help prevent problems. Thanks very much!
thanks dear, its very helpful for me, because my car's Radiator pipe (pipe go direct to engine) cracked and my car's engine gonna HEAT up.. Thanks again..
Very informative video, I found my car cooling issue after this video, my car is new but it has leak, and the reservoir tank ran out of water and I have never checked the water level carefully I thought it's new model it doesn't need full checking.
Thanks for the advice this helps a lots.. Maybe I have to replace the coolant because when I touch the radiator hose its really so hot that I cannot hold for long.
Checking the level involves checking the overflow bottle, if theres no overflow bottle, check the rad. By checking the radiator, you get air into the system and it takes weeks to purge all the air out of the system and that can lead to corrosion.
How often should you have to add coolant to your vehicle? I have to add a little bit about every month but I also do a lot of driving I drive on average around 40,000 miles a year.
How often do you need to check antifreeze in the radiator cap. And did you check your antifreeze tank level at the same time you check your radiator cap for fluid level?
yes go straight to the point like that. not like others......"let me show you..blah blah blah..... (10mins later).......takes your car to the shop. Thanks for watching"
Thank you for your guidance. I have poured diluted coolant directly in the radiator instead of the reservoir. Can this damage the engine. Noted that coolant level in the radiator is not receding and remains full till the top radiator cap. Your guidance to rectify the same will be highly appreciated. Regards Lawrence , Mumbai, India
Hello. I want to completely remove the water from my radiator and add new water and coolant. I want to many litres of coolant is require to mix with water for my car ? I have a Honda Civic 2008. Thank you. Looking forward to hear from you soon.
When my 2015 Corolla engine is cool, coolant levels in both radiator and reservoir is very low. Should I simply add coolant to the radiator (or easier in a reservoir half way), or there might be leak in the system that required mechanic? Does simply add coolant introduce air in the system? btw very detail and good to follow video. Thx
Tell me about it , here in brazil to this day more than 80% of the cars runs with just water in the coolant ,all gets fulled with rust than the car overheats it then boom there goes an engine .P.S did anyone ever mistaken you with D.K from the Fast&.. 3?
Myo Kyaw Thu my coolant light comes on soon as I turn my car on and after driving it bout 30 min I smell antifreeze no over heating but when I take the cap off the reservoir it over flows for a good 3-5 min the drops low what could this be ?
Should the coolant in radiator cap be always full? My reservoir is always at the right level but the radiator cap always goes down in level. Just had change a radiator due to leak.
What if the radiator is full but the reservoir is empty with just a little water? Can I pour the 50/50 in there? Before I got most of the water out I did use only water and eventually purchased 50/50 it’s an 2005 Honda Accord.

learn how to check your tire pressure. that's also basic and easy to learn
I think using water is a no-no. Use coolant fluid, like the video says.
i am currently watching this while parked on side street. almost over heated
CEN CAL dang that was 8 months ago.. well i called a tow truck and waited for around 5 hours. He never came. So since it was night time and pretty cool outside i decided to risk it and drive home. Made it and then took car to shop the next day

Sassy Saddles what happened after?

This is probably the best expertvillage video I've ever seen!!!
This is such a good video. It's detailed and to the point. I'm not a car guy so this helped simplify the job for me. Thank you! 😁
I have seen lots of videos regarding radiator coolent, u the one guy who explained very well nd simply... Thanks for the simple explain...
The only first guy to sound educated ! Sounds like he knows the he's doing !
This guy should have his own car talk on RUclips. Very good at explaining :)
Excellent video, thanks! Clear, concise, easy to follow instructions and demo. Wonderful speaking voice, and, as a bonus, dayum! You’re handsome! ❤️
Thank you for being so clear and covering all the bases!
You explained simply & detailed at the same time great video!

best explained video for the first time coolant filling person lol thanks so much
Thank you! Very clear instructions! My rav4 doesn't have radiator cap, only the overfill bottle. So I can only fill the bottle. Thanks!
Very informative video, I found my car cooling issue after this video, my car is new but it has leak, and the reservoir tank ran out of water and I have never checked the water level carefully I thought it's new model it doesn't need full checking.
I like my mechanic to have a Master's in Mechanical engineering.
Knockout Investing Life Like most employers, I see.
Still helpful even after 14 years !
It’s 2022!
I like how he explains very well ad gets to the point and tells you the things that you need to know
Thanks for the advice this helps a lots.. Maybe I have to replace the coolant because when I touch the radiator hose its really so hot that I cannot hold for long.
Excellent information. I learnt so much from this vid. Thanks Jeff!
Great at explaining this and the camera work is good.
Well done! Still a helpful video 14 years later! 😅🎉
I wish I can thank this guy in person.
shoot him ur number and maybe you guys can meet up;)
Very good ,clear and patient in explaining
i like how this guy always gets to the point.
This is a really informative video. Helped me a lot ,as I m a new driver not aware of such tecnical things. Well thanks a lot!!!
Awesome video man thumbs up!! Wow I learned alot about the fluid going back and forth wow
I just love your hair ...Thankyou for teaching us x
Thank you for explaining this so clearly!
Informative and helpful. Thank you
i learned a lot from this video. thanks samurai..
You’re welcome padawan
Good video! For car ignoramuses like me this is really helpful.
oh my goodness this helps SO MUCH
best expertvillage video ever
Cobblers, you pour the coolant in, then add water to finish topping up and it will mix itself.
Joss Cues absolutely coz you never really know if you have removed all of the old fluid and its better to be slightly over in the mix than under
Thank you for info. the best one I found and easy to follow .
Thank you so much for a perfect and simple explanation.
Good video. Easy to get.Not boring at all.👍👍
Checking the level involves checking the overflow bottle, if theres no overflow bottle, check the rad.
By checking the radiator, you get air into the system and it takes weeks to purge all the air out of the system and that can lead to corrosion.
Great video.
Here is another site that was helpful
U explained so well. I love u already haha
How often should you have to add coolant to your vehicle? I have to add a little bit about every month but I also do a lot of driving I drive on average around 40,000 miles a year.
this guy explains everything good
Great video and explanation.
and what if your radiator is not full already?
Then you fill it with either pre deluted coolant or delute antifreeze with destiled water according to the instructions.
How often do you need to check antifreeze in the radiator cap. And did you check your antifreeze tank level at the same time you check your radiator cap for fluid level?
thank you so much..this helped me such a lot!!!! great video explanation.
pro stuff. ty mr Wong for all those smooth and informative info : )
I love this VIDEO it's explained everything very well good job
For safety only open the radiator on a stone cold engine. Don't even risk opening the radiator cap after a few hours of cooling down.
Good tutor! Keep it up your good teaching skills!
Jeff if coolant reservoir fill up what are causing that?
Cap,radiator,water pump!
yes go straight to the point like that. not like others......"let me show you..blah blah blah..... (10mins later).......takes your car to the shop. Thanks for watching"
This is a very informative video, enjoyed watching it, thanks
This was awesome!!
Idk if anyone will see this, but nowadays is most coolant at gas stations and stores usually 50:50?
Damn I had to get towed towed, topping off the radiator fluid now and then off to webuyanycar tmrw. Wish me luck ! 😊 🤙
Thank you for your guidance.

Great video! Good job
Good video. See 1:38 vs 2:32 what new in that scene?
Number plate ......??😀
it is important to do this after a very long drive
When my 2015 Corolla engine is cool, coolant levels in both radiator and reservoir is very low. Should I simply add coolant to the radiator (or easier in a reservoir half way), or there might be leak in the system that required mechanic?
Does simply add coolant introduce air in the system?
btw very detail and good to follow video. Thx
Thank you. I am heading out to buy some coolant now.
Appreciate it master ❤️🙌🧎🏻♂️
Downloaded the video then I'll go down to the garage later to check my car like a boss
Should I fill the radiator AND the coolant reservoir? What if I accidently overfill the reservoir?
Tell me about it , here in brazil to this day more than 80% of the cars runs with just water in the coolant ,all gets fulled with rust than the car overheats it then boom there goes an engine .P.S did anyone ever mistaken you with D.K from the Fast&.. 3?
Thank you for good explaining... I got knowledge from you. Intresting talk.
