View Full Version : OK, so I'm a dumbass.
Swordsman 11-09-2006, 08:05 PM OK, so I was getting the "check coolant level" warning and the coolant seemed down a bit. I got the coolant, but while filling it in the dark, I accidentally overfilled it.
Does this matter? Do I need to go out and buy a little tubing and siphon some of the coolant out or will it just overflow to the proper level once I drive the car?
Thanks!

It'll overflow on its own. Don't worry about it.

No! Don't listen to these guys -- you need to siphon your coolant!
Now, I don't mean to say that you need to siphon your coolant because it's over-filled; Bread is right, don't worry about that.
However, the first chance you get, run out to your car (right after you've been driving it for a while is the best time), take a small drinking straw, stick it right into the coolent reservoir, and suck that coolant right out. And for no other reason than it's really, really fun to do.
I personally drink my coolant once a week, mostly on the weekends. You know, if I feel like I want to have a good time ... a little party buzz, if you know what I mean. ;)

That's funny right there, ...I don't care who you are.
Bavarian Fan 11-10-2006, 06:48 PM Be carefull when siphoning the coolant, I waited a little too long last time and almost hurled. It actually didn't taste that bad.
jk
gmaltz 11-12-2006, 04:32 PM I think I read something like a spoon full of antifreeze will kill you if swallowed. Try to induce vommitting if it gets down into your stomach.
My next door nieghbors dog, a nice yellow lab too, licked some off the driveway because it is sweet tasting and she died a slow death the next day.

Don't worry about it, it will be fine.
