Where to put water in engine? Ford escape hybrid 07?
I'm a girl totally ignorant on car stuff. Where do I put water in the engine of my car? And what else should I check for regularly besides oil changes. I do these myself. Would anyone please label this picture for me?
One or both of the two clearish plastic reservoirs on the left of the picture (with the yellow fluid) is likely where the coolant goes. Check the cap to make sure that's what the label says. Make sure it's a 50% coolant to 50% water mix.
Not to be judgmental but at the bottom left there's the windshield washer fill cap. Limit yourself to that.
No owners manual? If not, then you need to get one online ( usually free )
to answer you - in the photo: on the left it looks like there are 2 coolant reservoirs - not sure why there's 2 - that is where coolant is fed into ; to the right of those is the oil cap for adding oil ; to the right, and rear, is the reservoir for the brake fluid - has a black cap with hose attached to the top ; as far as the dipsticks for oil, transmission - they are either not shown in that photo or are under the plastic cover that goes over the top of the engine… Again, the manual is your best friend ;]
NEVER put water in your car. Use coolant pre-mixed 50-50. Put it in the coolant recovery tank, which is clearly identified. Make sure it is the correct coolant for your car. The auto parts people can guide you on this.
My Prius hybrid has TWO coolant tanks. One is for the inverter, and one is for the engine.
YouTube. Takes you by the hand and show you exactly what to do.
Coolant goes into the reservoir bottle on the front o/s. 
- I need to put a different engine in my 1982 Ford Ranger Lariat and I don't know what to put in it? It's the biggest engine you could get at the time in those trucks, so it is a v8, I just don't know the exact size. Since the engine is pretty much dead that's in it I was wondering if almost any v8 could go in it's place or if it has any specific engine that has to go it in. Also any good suggestion for a good engine would be great.
- Will it hurt an engine to have a half a cup of water in the engine oil? Its a ford fusion 2.5 i left the oil cap off and it started raining and water got in the oil. I already drove it about 95 miles. I drained it and at least half a cup of water was visible and the oil was strangly colored
- Why does water build up in water reservoir? Car is ford focus sedan 2003 1.6engine So we changed the water reservoir recently and now water builds up in the reservoir.
- What happens if you use the same bottle you put gas in to put water in your radiator? I accidentally used the same bottle I put gas in to put water in my 99 Ford Explorer radiator and now it's been over heating non stop, I'm on the side of the highway now. The water comes out brown and gooey and I bought Prestone Flush+Cleaner, twice I followed the steps and it still overheats and the brown gooey stuff, oh yea and I'm not sure if this is bad but there's white smoke coming out of the exhaust
