Re: radiator fluid

Raidator fluid = antifreez.
Fill the radiator up.
Fill up expansion tank.
If you do not have a bleeder, run your engine in a well ventilated place (outside) until the thermostat opens: upper radiator hose becomes hot and you may feel some pulsation in it. (Actually on my Accord the owners manual recomends to wait for the cooling fan to come on twice. I was never able to do it.)
Stop the engine.
Refill radiator.
After next few trips veify that the antifreez level is OK.

Sam

P.S. Make sure your vehicle is parked level or with the nose up, not down.
