How much antifreeze does my 3.4 hold? and on the hood it says requires "special fill" what do i need to fill it i put about 2 gallons in it and its full so i need to get the air out of it....i got it up to about 180 hoping when it cools it will suk it all down and i can fill it up some more, ill do that 3 times prob and see hwat i come up with.

 

TTT

 

I never did this with my 3.4, but on the 98, I have changed the anitfreeze.

Didn't know about it at the time, but there is an opening of some kind somewhere on the engine (I am so sorry about how vague this is).

Suppose to open this up and drain the coolant straight out of the engine, as well as the radiator. This is how you will be able to fill the full amount of fluid into your car.

check the Haynes Manual or Chilton, they [I]might[I] have something about the location of the plugs to open.

 

I changed the antifreeze hundreds of times......It was of a typical engine antifreeze change......There was not any bleeder screw on mine and I did upgrade the antifreeze to the 5 year orange juice without hurting the vehicle.....fill it, run it, and check fill again and run it and finish fill after cooldown and you will be fine....

If by chance your engine has that bleeder screw.....bleed it while running your engine and bleed it after you shut it off right away...

 

special fill means you might have a bleeder on it but mine was a 95 3.4 and it didnt have any special fill for it .....

 

thanks, thats what i was doing i got it now i think
