i am not positive but i would figure if you put put too much in it would just blow it all out of the overflow when it gets warm. Air is deffinetly bad, can cause you to overheat.

well, my low coolant light was on, so I kept adding coolant to make it go off, and it still hasn't gone off, and it is slap full. What could be the problem?
