How to Add Coolant to the Cooling
System (3.8L V6 Engine)

1. You can remove the

radiator pressure cap
when the cooling
system, including the
radiator pressure cap
and upper radiator
hose, is no longer hot.

Turn the pressure cap slowly counterclockwise until
it first stops. Do not press down while turning the
pressure cap. If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop.
A hiss means there is still some pressure left.

2. Then keep turning the pressure cap, but now push

down as you turn it. Remove the pressure cap.

3. Open the coolant air

bleed valve located
on the thermostat
housing, near the
upper radiator hose.
