what is the procedure l have to go through?? in the mx6 there is a filler cap, breather cap and a coolant reservoir... where do l add the antifreeze?? do l have to also add water? if so then where would l have to add the water? do l have to start my car or not? l know the car has to be cool... any help would be great

keep it off look under your hood, and like it should say like radiator coolant add here or some crap like that, look in your owners manual and it will tell u how much to put in there, and no u do not have to add water .good luck dude

There r premixed antifreeze is & non mixed. So adding water depends on which type u get. l do not like paying for the premixed because l can buy the water cheaper then what they want for theirs. l mix mine 50-50, there r directions for how much water to add to the antifreeze to provide for the winters u have in ur area.
As for adding water, if it is normal maintenance u add it to the coolant reservoir. This should be checked when the engine is warm. If the radiator cap is working as designed it will keep the system full.
If u have had to open the system, or u feel that if may be low, open the radiator cap & add. The problem with this is that it will not bleed the system & the heater may not work. The it this is the case u should find the highest point in the system (sometimes the upper hose to the heater core, other times the upper radiator hose) & add the antifreeze at this point by disconnecting the hose & pouring water in it till it comes out the open part of the system (the radiator cap need to be on for this by the way).
Good luck.
