[QUOTE="006, post: 9601505, member: 5015"] Very bad idea I'd wait till the motor is totally cool before attempting to open the fill cap on the crossover tube. Do this: While the motor is still warm, unscrew the cap *slightly* so that it will be easier to fully open when the motor is cold. Be careful not to get hot boiling coolant all over you. When it's cooled after a few hours, open the cap, remove it and THEN fire up your motor. Begin to add coolant (yellow bottle - prestone since it's safe for aluminum motors), and do this with a 50/50 mix (don't buy the pre-mixed shit.. that is a waste of money), also pour some into the degass bottle to it's full line. As the motor gets warmer, you will begin to see bubbles come up through the fill hole on the crossover, and the level will drop, keep filling it until it stops dropping, and then cap it off and tighten it. Tadaa! Done! [/QUOTE]
