Are you an S-LSA owner?

Do you have a copy of the Maintenance Manual?
That will always be a good starting point.
In this case, Page 12-6

I'm not sure where you want to add the coolant, but it is very simple. If you need to add to the reservoir tank just add either more of the same coolant or distilled water to bring it up to the level you want to achieve. If the main coolant fill tank on top of the engine is a little low follow the same procedure and top it off. If this is a new out of the box engine the procedure is the same. It will fill most cavities in the engine by gravity. You should after a first start shut down after just a couple of minutes and check the oil and coolant levels before any long first time run.
