How?

Do you mean he filled up the radiator and the overflow tank to the top? Or that he put just pure antifreeze in?

Exclamation Yes Too Much Is Not Good

Rad must have water too boil so that heat can transfer thru ...all anti freeze won't let that happen..50/50 mix is what it should have...

You mean the mixture is too strong? Or simply too much volume. It's not like engine oil, there's not supposed to be any air space in the actual radiator.

Level too high in the overflow reservoir is OK. If it's REALLY too high, it'll just spill on the ground when the engine warms up.

yes he filled BOTH of em ALL THE WAY to the RIM! And yes it was the 50/50 MIX.
So should he drain some it from the reserve tank or let it go down by itself?

Drain it down if you have any pets around. The stuff is sweet & tasty and VERY poisonous. Dog or cat will die a slow horrible death from drinking a puddle of antifreeze.
