Coolant Capacity
Coolant Capacity I just flushed my coolant, because it was low, and f*cking Midas didn't know if they put dexcool or regular coolant in...
So, I look in my repair manual and it says 11.6 quarts is the capacity of coolant systems in 2000 and later w/ manual tranny.
Well, I only got in 1 gallon and a little bit of a 2nd gallon before the radiator stopped accepting more. I let the car idle for quite a bit, both the upper and lower hoses were hot so the coolant was flowing properly. I checked the measuring stick on the overflow, and no coolant was showing on it.
Whats the deal? Do I need to just put rest of it in the overflow since the radiator isn't sucking more down?
Just in case I don't get a reply to fast, car is cooling down right now, so I can go check the fluid when its cold on the overflow stick.
