Can I Change the Coolant Myself?
1 Answers
You can change the coolant yourself. The specific steps are as follows: 1. First, drain the original coolant completely. Locate the drain valve of the car's cooling system, usually at the bottom of the car. Open the expansion tank cap, lift the car, and unscrew the drain plug to drain all the coolant. 2. After draining the coolant, fill the radiator and cooling system with clean water to flush out any remaining residue until clear water flows out from the drain. 3. Tighten the drain plug and pour the new coolant into the expansion tank, filling it to a level between the MAX and MIN marks. 4. Close the tank cap, start the car, and the coolant level in the tank will gradually drop. At this point, you need to add more coolant again, still maintaining the level between the MAX and MIN marks.
