Where do I put coolant in my Saturn?

Place a funnel into the radiator neck and fill the radiator with global coolant that is premixed or broken down with equal parts coolant and water. Saturns call for Dex-cool, which is fine, but global coolant has been created to work in virtually any vehicle. Top off the overflow reservoir to the full line.

How do you fill an old radiator?

To add liquid to your radiator, follow these steps:

1. Open the radiator cap.
2. Look into the radiator fill hole to see how high the liquid level is inside.
3. Add water and coolant, or pre-diluted coolant, as necessary.
4. Replace the cap by screwing it on clockwise.

How do you check the coolant in a Saturn Ion?

When the light comes on and the temperature needle is in the “Normal” range, shut the vehicle down and check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir. It should be between the “Min” and “Max” lines. Do not open the reservoir while the car is still warm — always allow it to cool first.

How do you get coolant out of a Saturn SL1?

Top off the overflow reservoir to the full line. Run the SL1 with the radiator cap off to allow the air to bleed from the radiator. As the Saturn heats up to running temperature, it will suck in coolant, requiring more to be added as it purges air pockets from the radiator, spilling some of the coolant in the process.

How do you change the radiator cap on a Saturn?

Place the drain bucket below the radiator neck to catch the spillage. Add more coolant as necessary. Once the temperature gauge on the dash indicates 190 degrees F–or normal–replace the radiator cap and allow the Saturn to run for another 15 minutes.

What kind of coolant do you use in a Saturn?

Place a funnel into the radiator neck and fill the radiator with global coolant that is premixed or broken down with equal parts coolant and water. Saturns call for Dex-cool, which is fine, but global coolant has been created to work in virtually any vehicle.

How do you remove the radiator cap from a SL1?

Loosen the lower radiator hose clamp–with a screwdriver or pliers–and remove the lower radiator hose from the radiator. Crawl out from under the SL1 and locate the radiator cap. Remove the radiator cap from the top of the radiator fill neck. This will allow an air vent to purge out more coolant from the radiator.
