Here are the items you'll need for this repair: antifreeze, drain pan, funnel, jack and jack stands
Raise and support your vehicle. We are using a lift to make it easier to show you what's going on, but this job can easily be done at home on a jack and jack stand. Open the petcock at the bottom passenger side of the radiator. Allow the coolant to drain into a proper receptacle. Once the coolant has finished draining, go ahead and close the petcock. You may still want to keep the drain bucket underneath there, just in case there are any little drips. Open the cap by pushing down and rotating it counterclockwise. Place a funnel in your reservoir and fill the vehicle with as much 50/50 mix of the appropriate coolant and water as the system will take.
Start the vehicle. Set the fan to the lowest setting and the heat to the highest setting. I like to set it to vent so it's easiest to feel through an open window. Make sure you have some extra coolant ready to go, next to the car, while it's running.
Continue to keep the coolant level up and monitor the temperature coming out of the vents as well as the one on the gauge. Once the vehicle has a steady flow of heat and has maintained it's normal operating temperature, the bubbles have stopped and it's stopped bringing down the coolant level, you can shut the vehicle off. Remove your funnel and reinstall your cap by pushing down and moving it two clicks. You're good to go.
