If I were you though, I'd think about changing that coolant. It does a lot more than keeping your van from overheating. Yours is likely laden with multi-viscosity gunk, enriched goobs of engine goo, and triple-phase corrosion crud. Plus all of the good stuff in the ethylene glycol is now broken down into the useless constituent parts of green coolant: Lime Jello, Maple syrup, and Cheap Vodka. Time for a change.
