I need to add coolant to my '95 Volvo 850. The problem is I don't know what to add, or where to add it! There is not a radiator cap on the radiator. There is an overflow tank, but I can't get the cap off that.

I read elsewhere on this forum :

"Just don't mix Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol"

I have radiator fluid that says its safe for all engines and may be mixed with any existing fluid. It is not Volvo radiator fluid. Can I add this OK, or do I have to flush the entire radiator just to make sure I'm not mixing ethylene and propylene glycol?

Also, how the heck do I get that darn overflow cap off???? The owner's manual is useless for this.

Thanks.
