RE: coolant
yes I would put cooolant in it. In your owners manual it has recomended fluids and capacities and I alway put a bottle of water pump lube in my coolant system with every coolant service . I keep the corrosin down and keep all the pumps seals and bearing fresh . I work for a buss copy as a fleet mechanic and we have vehicals, ( crown vics , f350 and f450 bus chassies ) and most of them have over 300,000 miles on them with origial waterpumps and radiators in them

RE: coolant
The better question is, can i fill my radiator with only water? And the answer is no as well... water has better cooling properties than coolant, but you need coolant for the rust inhibitors, etc... 50/50... an if you wanna do it right, use distilled water...
