Paul,
If you don't drain it back to the proper level it will self-adjust by
dumping your $9 a gallon antifreeze out on the streets of town as the car
heats up to normal running temps.

Drain it out now and put it in the TR, looks like a long cold winter

My 89yo mother added an extra gallon of anti-freeze to AN ALREADY FULL white
plastic coolant over-run-resrvoir on her big GM air-conditioned car.   DO I
NEED TO DRAIN IT OUT?

The plastic antifreeze over-run container has the proper level (both when
hot or cold) on the side but she didn't read that.  Mistakenly, I had been
blamed for negligence (because I seem to only work on the TR) and she
thought the level way-low.

Thanks, Paul Dorsey   60 TR3
