- Mon Aug 31, 2009 1:14 am #140612 For the coolant, do not just put in a certain amount and call it a day. You need to put some in to fill the rad. then start the car with the rad cap off and let it run for a good long while, so that the fan turns on and of. while this happens air in the system will be bled out and make room for new coolant/water. What ever mix is good for your climate.


For the tranny fluid, grab 3 quarts. pour them in until is starts coming out of the fill plug. thats when its enough. you will want a long flexable funnel for this.
