Re: Olds 98 Low Coolant Warning

Coolant level sensor should be below the rad cap between the tranny lines on your rad.

When I do this type of repair/maintenance, I leave the rad cap off until the thermostat opens and sucks the coolant through the engine. Then with the car running and coolant circulating, I top off until the rad is full, then install the cap. All this while the car is running, fully warmed up and the heater on full blast.
