    Hold your hand above the radiator cap. If you can feel the heat, wait longer. If you can't feel heat, then touch it gently. If it is hot or warm, wait longer. Only unscrew it if it is cool.

    Gently touch the radiator cap. If it's still warm or hot to touch, then it's not ready.

    Don't mix colors when it comes to anti-freeze. If your car has the green type of anti-freeze, stick with it. If it has the orange Dexcool, stick with that. It's impossible to fully flush residue from either one, and while coolant is coolant, the inhibitors in these can mix together nastily causing serious engine damage.
