I did exactly that last month putting about a 1/2 quart before i realized. As long as you havent started the engine use a siphon to extract as much of the oil as possible Drain radiator refill with clean water and use a prestone back flush kit, refill with 50/50 antifreeze and you should be alright I havent had any problems at all.
Assuming you still have some form of coolant (water) in your radiator then the coolant will freeze when the weather is cold enough, coolant expands when it freezes, this may cause permanent damage to your engine, such as split pipe's, burst radiator, cracked engine block
Hold your breath for about 15 seconds. Drink some warm water. Then count sheep.
water will work until you can get proper coolant
Yes. The best to use is of course is a mixture of water and coolant but just water will work fine in your vehicle. Add coolant when you can get some for the best cooling. But only temporarily in an emergency. Water alone was fine (when the temperature stayed above freezing) back in the 1950s, but today's engines need the rust inhibitors and other additives.
an ACCIDENT is due to the carelessness of a certain person (without presence of mind) while INJURY is the main effect of an accident in addition,injury happens after the accident. *) -->missmakulet
Water or coolant keeps the engine cool . -Some engines are air cooled.
Some of the water will get a little warmer, and some will get colder.
- Drinking - Solvent - Coolant - Biological processes - Urination
The extra coolant will simply be pushed into the reservoir once the coolant heats up enough. It is also possible that (especially if there is already some fluid in the reservoir) that it will be pushed out of the reservoir unto the ground. Radiator fluid (antifreeze) is toxic to animals (it tastes sweet and so animals may be attracted to it). Please clean up or spray down with plenty of water any coolant that leaks or pours on the ground.
I changed a Water Pump first by draining the Coolant and there are some bolts that need to be loosened to take the Water Pump off. Make sure you a Gasket on the New Water Pump and use sealant to prevent Coolant leakage.
from a non-mechanic but usually there is some coolant leakage
You only need to report it if you are expecting some compensation.,
