How to add coolant to a 94 Saturn SL1?!?

Question

i have a 94 saturn sl-1. it needs coolant. my mom said to add it with water to a little plastic overflow bottle near the radiator. i cant find anything like that in my engine. the only plastic bottles nearby are the wiper fluid and the power brake fluid containers. plz help!! a pic would be best!

Answer 1

I do not have a Saturn, but number one wait until it is cool. Open the radiator cap and fill the radiator with COOLANT not water (any car parts store will have the type you need just tell them the car you have - it will be either green or orange) then put the cap back on. Now right on the filler tube that the cap goes on will be a plastic tube follow that plastic tube to where it goes, it should be a plastic container and the tube will go into it. The container will have a cap, take the cap off and fill the with COOLANT container to the line that say FULL COLD (there should also be a line for full hot, if you put too much in it will overflow when you drive and you will waste some money.

Answer 2

Saturns are very user friendly. The coolant bottle is at the front of the car on the passenger side. The plastic cap is a screw on type cap and it is rather large (bigger than the oil cap).

Answer 3

there is no radiator cap... Saturn makes some of the stupidest cars possible.. this makes it impossible for anyone with half a brain to work on them.. this way you need to pay a certified mechanic for even the dumbest of maintenance changes.. coming from a guy who has swapped many old transmissions.. bring back the old cars with distributor cap. (what's a computer) why do we need one in a car

Answer 4

its right in the front as soon as u open the hood on top of the radiator its a metal cap with a yellow warning sticker on it

Answer 5

pour it into the overflow jug that is labled antifreeze or coolant
