I am getting ready to change my coolent in my raidator for the first time sence I baught the car in Dec 05. The las time I changed Anti freez it was on a Honda and the filler cap was directly into the raidator and you had to "burp" by squeezing the top hose. With my Volvo I don't see any way to directl fill the raidator via a cap or anything. I assume I just fill the resivwar , excuse my spelling, and " burp" it the same way I did my Honda. Any sugustions?

    You are correct. Just fill it from the reservoir, squeeze the top radiator hose a few times to push any air back to the reservoir, and you're good.

    Should take just under 2 gallons if it's totally empty.

    Check it after a couple runs to make sure. It's a closed system- if it's overfilled, it'll blow out of the cap! Make sure it's below the MAX line.
