there is a drain **** at the botton, it looks like a wingnut.... dump in a bottle of antifreeze, then fill the rest with water.....
 












Good idea to use distilled water and mix 50/50 with antifreeze.

How much does antifreeze cost???

Maybe $5/gal You might need 1.5 gal

mix 50/50
 






I usually use 1 gal Antifreeze & slightly less than 1 gal distilled water. Total capacity should be slightly less than 8 quarts (2 gal).

Antifreeze in my local store is between $5 and $7 per gal depending on brand. Distilled water is about $1 per gal.
