Sudden release of 1953 Buick cooling system pressure may cause the coolant to boil and some of it may be ejected from the radiator filler neck, resulting in injury to persons or damage to the car finish. The coolant level may be considered correct so long as the temperature gauge stays within the operating range marked on dial face.ĬAUTION: Never remove the radiator cap quickly when engine is HOT. It is unnecessary and undesirable to remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level whenever the car stops at a filling station for gasoline or oil, since the engine is usually hot at such times. The coolant level should be checked only when the engine is cold and only enough water should be added to bring the level to the line marked “Filling Level Cold” stamped about 1 1/4″ below top of head tank on rear side.
