Where is the location to add antifreeze?

The location to add antifreeze is on top of the radiator; just unscrew the cap to fill it. The car antifreeze should be added between the min and max marks on the expansion tank, and it must not exceed the max mark. How to replace antifreeze: Before completely replacing the antifreeze, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a focus on the five-way hose. Antifreeze flows through the five-way hose and is then distributed to different parts of the car to function. If there is any leakage of antifreeze in this area, replace the hose or reseal the connection as needed. Drain the old antifreeze, then flush the fluid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the antifreeze reservoir and continue filling it so that the water flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Then, start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water flowing out of the reservoir will be slightly pinkish. Continue adding clean water until the water coming out is clear. Note: Remember to remove the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add the new antifreeze through the radiator hose. Then, add another container of antifreeze to the antifreeze reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. At this point, the coolant level will drop slightly as air is expelled from the system. Add more antifreeze until it reaches the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.
