If your car is low on water you should add water to the radiator. The radiator is usually located at the front of the engine near the grill. You can also check your car’s owner manual to find the specific location of the radiator.
Before adding water to the radiator make sure that the engine is cool. If the engine is hot the water will evaporate quickly. Also be careful not to overfill the radiator. The radiator should only be filled to the “full” line. If you add too much water it can cause the engine to overheat.
If your car’s radiator is empty you will need to add water and coolant. Coolant is a mixture of water and antifreeze. Antifreeze helps to keep the engine from freezing in cold weather. It also raises the boiling point of the water which helps to prevent the engine from overheating.
To add coolant to the radiator first remove the radiator cap. Then add coolant to the “full” line. Be sure to use a 50/50 mixture of water and antifreeze. Do not add water if the radiator is already full of coolant.
If your car is low on oil you should add oil to the engine. The oil dipstick is usually located near the front of the engine on the side of the engine block. You can also check your car’s owner manual to find the specific location of the oil dipstick.
Before adding oil to the engine make sure that the engine is cool. If the engine is hot the oil will evaporate quickly. Also be careful not to overfill the engine with oil. The oil should only be added to the “full” line on the dipstick. If you add too much oil it can cause the engine to malfunction.
To add oil to the engine first locate the oil dipstick. Then remove the dipstick from the engine and wipe it clean. Insert the dipstick into the engine and screw it back in. Be sure to screw it in tightly.
Next remove the oil cap from the engine. This is usually located on the top of the engine near the front. Once the oil cap is removed you will see a small hole. Slowly pour oil into the hole until the oil reaches the “full” line on the dipstick. Be sure to use the correct type of oil for your car. You can check your car’s owner manual to find out the recommended type of oil.
After you have added oil to the engine screw the oil cap back on and check the oil level again. The oil level should now be between the “full” and “low” lines on the dipstick.
