Add coolant to hot radiator?

A Yup!, might want to wait until it cools

 

i unscrew the cap slowly, let the pressure release slowly. unscrew a little more for more slow release.

eventually you'll have all the pressure released and be good to go. takes about 5 minutes.

course, if it's too low, as in fresh cold antifreeze possibly hitting the engine. let her cool down a little first.

 

I'd wait about 15 min then slowly remove cap.dont forget to put your gloves on

 

If you don't have the time to let it cool. When you remove cap it will spit or spray. If you have to open. I would put a rag over cap and then a plastic bag. Put leather gloves on and turn cap to the first notch.
Put downward pressure against the cap as you turn it.
You will feel the coolant pushing against your hand. Slowly let the lid push your hand away. The reason I only turn lid to first notch, if I release to fast of my hand slips the lid can't come off completely. IF you release the pressure this way its safer.

After the pressure is released turn the lid rest of the way open and add coolant. While the motor is running.

Watch out for the coolant to spray back out of the opening.
Best way to do this is wait for the coolant to cool off.
Good luck.

 

tell your boss to quit giving you junk to drive then I wouldn't have so much downtime.no dont tell him that till you have a few months under your belt lol.

 

Filter pliars and run bro.

Dump jug in and don't forget the catch can and lug nuts before u drop the jack.

Or wait abit for it to cool down.

 

Or if you have access to a hose you can run water over the radiator and cool it down pronto.

 

Y'all are sissies
