either one. Open the filler neck cap and run the car until the fluid starts backing out. put lid on and stop car. repeat a few times while adding fluid. shouldn't take long...

With the engine off... don't forget to take off the throttle body coolant hose to help burp the air out.
Replace it when the coolant comes spurting out.
