How many bottles of pre-mixed do I need to get?

 

For what?

Is this a new engine? or a coolant change?

It should be written in your engine compartment, no???

For coolant change, 5 litres.

94 EX Coupe, i'm just filling it up, the reservoir tank didnt have any in it and my car almost over heated. So i'm gonna refill it. And since I suck at mixing I wanna buy the premixed stuff. I just need to know how much.

 

Just buy 2 gallons so you have some spare fluid to top it off when you are low again.

I agree, we would need more info on what car you have and what you're doing. But to be on the safe side, I would just get 2 gallons of premix antifreez and work from there. Make sure you run the car and bleed your system to get all the air bubbles out. Run it fpr about 5-10mins and add if needed.

 

It's a 94 Civic EX Coupe with a D16Z6. The Engine has 139,000 miles and what i'm trying to do is refill the radiator with fluid Like Prestone 50/50 or something like that. Just needed to know how much coolant to buy. Cause the guy at Autozone said if I buy 50/50 I might need to buy like 3 or 4 of them.

 

I have regular prestone antifreeze/coolant, says to add 50$ fluid 50% water, i'm not good at mixing so do I just "eye" it?

 

That's all you can do except pour it into some type of container first then pour it in your radiator.

 

got ya, thanks

Not for a D16. Two galons of pre-mix will cover you for a whole flush and fill.

 

Make sure the car is cool, the heat is on and the radiator cap is open while you're adding it so you can actually put in as much as the car needs. Top off the radiator, let the fan come on and the thermostat open, continue topping off the radiator and, lastly, fill up your overflow bottle to the max mark.
