some other liquid such as alcohol, can boil

wrong mixture, your engine could get too hot
but you wouldn’t get the overheat warning.
Your engine could catch fire and you or others
could be burned. Use a
50/50
mixture of clean,
drinkable water and DEX COOL@ coolant.
Notice:
In
cold weather, water can freeze and crack
the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
Use the recommended coolant and the proper
coolant mixture.
If
you haven’t found a
problem yet, but the
coolant level isn’t at the
FULL COLD mark,

50/50
mixture
of
clean, drinkable water
and
DEX-COOL@ engine
coolant at the coolant
recovery tank. See
