Default engine coolant

Can somebody direct me to post on how to add antifreeze or fill cooling system on my 1997, I found it once but did not print, and I have now searched with no results. Thanks Marty

Coolant is added to the overflow tank on the right wheel well. There is a mark on the front of the tank that shows the correct cold level.

Be sure to add a 50/50 mixture of Dexcool only, and distilled water.
