No, the filler cap is on top of the reservoir.
(On some systems, the reservoir is next to the radiator, or even the radiator itself)
If there's a cap by the bottom hose it's a drain plug.

I would use the ethylene glycol type, for your climate 50/50 may be a good idea.
In Australia there is no risk of freezing so we can easily go 33/67.

Thanks mate!
Just got 4 litres concentrated glycol (red).
I'm gonna flush the whole system, just to be sure, cus the one that is in right now is bright green.
I have opened the tube from container, the lower big tube and the top tube. Anything more i need to open before flushing?

Your thermostat housing might have a brass bleeding screw with 5mm internal hex head. If you can find this, open it - or when flushing with pressure you can remove it completely for a few seconds.

thanks addo!
Now i'm gonna bleed, and i'm all done
All done
Very happy for this forum.
Kinda unsure when starting fixing on a car i never "seen" the engine on before
But new radiator on place, leak stopped, and test ride on 6 km showed max 95c on the temp (but it is very hot here in my part of Norway now)
40c in the sun, and around 29 in the shadow..phu
Thanks all!
