I need to change my coolant, but I don't have my owner's manual and I saw somewhere under the hood that there is a special coolant fill procedure, which is explained in the manual. What exactly is the procedure?

To top her off? 50%water/50%coolant
To flush her and clean her out? Different story :(
Get a hanyes manual or something, it will have the flush techniques in there somewhere.

makes sure when you flush your radiator that you let the hose run a few minutes before to dilute it so when it's all over the floor, it won't be neon green and po po won't know you're dumping :D\'96 M5 Camaro White<br />Flowmaster Full Catback<br />SLP CAI<br />180* Thermo<br /><br />Stereo: H/U - Clarion DXZ725 <br />Alipne Type-R 6.5 Components (front), <br />Alpine Alpine SPS-1629S 6.5 <br />2 10\" JL 10w0<br /><br />\"One Love\" -Bob MarleyComment

hopefully he wont have anu neon green coolant coming out anyways. We are only suposed to use the orange sh!t extended life + different components ( can remember now im tired and a litle frustarted) but whatever you do MAKE sure you put ORANGE coolant back in NOT GREEEEEEEEN!!!!!!!! :cool:AIS 2 OHH the memories...

i believe there is a bleed screw in the thermostat housing. you need to open this and fill until you see coolant coming out of the bleeder. close the bleed screw. put the radiator cap on.Comment

Okay, someone clear this up for me. There was a post a while back about the differences between the orange and green antifreeze. From what I got from everyone's post, it doesn't matter which one you put in. Just as long as you don't mix the two. I put the green in my car and never had any problems. Someone better set me straight, otherwise I'm in a world of hurt.Nitrous is like a hot chick with an STD....you wanna hit it, but you\'re affraid of the consequences...<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=244935\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=244935</a>Comment

either one would be fine. The Dexcool (orange stuff) is better and of course costs more. It's good and recommended at 5 years or 100K miles. The green stuff is recommended every 30K. GM started putting the Dexcool in all of it's vhicles standard around 97 or 98 if I'm not mistaken.98 Camaro<br />K&N,Free Air Mod,M5,Monsoon,stock Z28 catback exhaustComment

Yep, use the Dex-cool (Orange stuff). Dfferent chemicals in it for longer life & keeping radiator clean, Only about $1 more a gallon, not alot of money every few years.Comment
