How to add coolant

Hi,

When the engine is cold, remove the radiator cap and inspect level. If it is low in the radiator, top it off with a 50/50 mix of coolant and water.

Next, inspect the level in the overflow reservoir. There should be an indicator on it which says full. Fill to that point.

If there is a leak, you really need to find it. Here are a couple links you may find helpful:

Here are the directions straight from the repair manual. The attached pic correlates with this. I circled the two locations for filling.

Remove radiator pressure cap and fill system, using a 50/50 mix of Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula and distilled water.

Continue filling system until full. Be careful not to spill coolant on drive belts or the generator.

Fill coolant recovery/reserve container to at least the MAX mark with 50/50 solution. It may be necessary to add coolant to the recovery/reserve container after three or four warm up/cool down cycles to maintain coolant level between the MAX and MIN mark. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the system.
