I would start with 4 qts, and check it after it runs a minute, It should be good, some cars take 4 1/2, some small engines take 5. You will have to check it, Hope this helps.

the receiver / dryer on your car is located in the right front bumper. you have to look up from underneath. you will see an aluminum cylinder (the drier). the valve is on the very top of this unit, not very visible, you have to reach up and feel it. it is not very conveniently located, but that is where it is. also note that there is probably a plastic cap on the valve that will need to be removed before servicing. good luck!

There could be many causes for this to happen. The thermostat could be sticking and only opening enough during higher engine rpm. The fan may not be coming on. The system could be clogged and not allowing much coolant to circulate until higher rpm. If this is something you want to tackle on your own I would suggest changing the Thermostat and thoroughly flushing the cooling system, then see how it acts and go from there.

You have a short circuit in one of your components. People look for lights on but that is not the case all the time. Good test is to turn your vehicle off and let it cool down and the sweep touch components in your car for warmness, meaning they are using energy while off, that is your battery energy. Most cases I seen is the starter or the wiper motor. Hope this helps.

Step 2 Thread the trailer wiring connectors through holes in the body behind each taillight. Follow the instructions provided with the connector to determine which connector belongs in which side of the vehicle.

Step 3 Insert the wiring connectors into the vehicle's wiring harness.
Reinstalling the Taillights

Step 1 Push the taillights into position against the body and reinstall the plastic wingnuts that secure them. Be careful not to crush the wiring.

Step 2 Route the trailer wiring underneath the carpeting in the trunk, so that the trailer connector can extend out between the trunk lid and bumper when in use, and be tucked into the trunk when not in use.

Step 3 Reposition the trunk carpet over the taillight housing.
