Yes, I don't see why not, if the supplied fittings fit your expansion tank filler neck.

you can use the funnel but i'm not sure the attachment/adapters will fit your application...

Sorry. I never tried to refill it. I have only used up one of them and I just threw it away.

Yes, with a caveat. The pump will burn out due to the extra volume of coolant being moved through the new system. I would not suggest modifying this as it was created to continuously move a specific volume of coolant thus diminishing its reliability.

I just used my stocker if I remember right. Not a bad time to replace it though. The spring in them can go out over time leading to incorrect pressurization of the coolant system. The caps are cheap through advance or auto zone or whatever is close to you. Radiator works like a charm though. Installation was cake and cools like a champ. Never climbs above 210 in the summer even with the ac on full blast.

Just suck out about a half gallon of antifreeze with a suction gun more if you feel the need. A cheap suction gun is faster and easier than trying to get that radiator drain open on late model GM cars. Do this first and very little coolant will be in the intake if any. When finished refill the radiator before starting the engine and be sure to open the bleeder on the thermostat housing to bleed air out of the system after refilling the radiator . Have the engine running during the bleeding.

It doesn't come pre-mixed, so you'll need to mix it with water. It's useful to have another container that you can mix with. Just make sure they can hold the same amount of volume, otherwise you'll need a good way to measure the mix. Typically I keep an old used coolant jug (rinsed of course) from the generic brands for this purpose. Like many others have said, 50/50 is best recommended.

For actual bleeding, you need a device called an "Airlift", which when connected to the shop's air source, it will actually suck the air out of the cooling system and as you replenish the coolant. Short of that, using right radiator cap adapter that comes with the kit enables you to do an almost a professional job. Just fill the radiator, run the engine until it warms up. You will first see the coolant level comes up (in the funnel) but as the thermostat opens, it will go down. Add coolant as it goes down until it takes no more. The put the car's radiator cap back on, fill the overflow tank to the marking...and you are done. Hope this helps.

Hi Vanessa, must remove radiator cap, to use and run the engine to full operating temperature. Aluminum products may seal when cold and expand to see leaks when warm, have you done a pressure test on the cooling system? It has been advised to me that you also have the radiator check

I bought the flush product; did that a couple of times and then added the Relief in the fresh re-fill with new antifreeze. That process worked well !!

We ended up buying a complete tank that fit on our cooler with no problem. Did discover that removing the drip dome cover and it would fit in our old tank. Sunbeam cooler.

Hi! You will not need to add oil to the radiator. We have these at work and have never had to, and those radiators are several years old.

I refill as I go with no issue. Just have to be careful removing the cap. Pressure and heat/steam WILL escape!!!

this is a great question. Yes, it can work as a temporary fix until the radiator forms another leak else where. Cool the engine completely then clean the area with rubbing alcohol, then apply. Worked for me with a 5 inch hairline crack. But replace your radiator!

I had the same concern myself. I have used ICE in four different vehicles with extraordinary results. It will protect your hoses, your water pump and your radiator. It has saved me a lot if money and inconvenience over several years.

I would not buy this product. A half way decent garage has its own refrigerant. This product is for people that either have experience refilling car systems, or have a friend or neighbor, that has the experience. Save your money.

Not necessary. It can be added to existing coolant as long as the coolant/water mixture is correct.
