Where do you put antifrezze in a 2001 Chevy Malibu?

The antifreeze (coolant) reservoir on a 2001 Chevy Malibu is usually a translucent plastic tank located somewhere under the hood, near the radiator. It's often a semi-transparent green, yellow, or orange color and will have markings indicating minimum and maximum fill levels. Look for a cap that says "coolant" or has a similar marking.

However, it's crucial to understand: You should *never* just pour antifreeze directly into the reservoir if the engine is hot. Doing so can cause serious injury from scalding steam or coolant. Always let the engine cool completely before adding coolant.

If you're unsure of its location, consult your owner's manual. A quick online search for "2001 Chevy Malibu coolant reservoir location" with images will also likely show you exactly where it is.
