Part: Antifreeze coolant

Next, unscrew and open the upper cap of the reservoir and pour in the new antifreeze until full. Start the car and turn the heating to maximum to circulate the fluid throughout the engine. As a final step, using a liquid soap dispenser, remove any excess antifreeze from the reservoir.
