You’ll find your coolant in a clear overflow plastic container near your radiator.If the liquid is below the minimum line, it’s time to fill it with a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze.
You’ll usually find this in a lear reservoir that’s marked with minimum and maximum lines.If it’s low, fill it and then have the system check to make sure you don’t have a leak.
You’ll find a small take nea the windshields’ base.The steering fluid should be between the minimum and maximum level marker.If it’s low, bring it to Tim’s Truck Capital.
