Engine
Coolant
The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with
DEX-COOL@ engine coolant. This coolant is designed
to remain in your vehicle for
5
years or
150,000
miles
(240
000
km), whichever occurs first,
if
you add
only DEX-COOLa extended life coolant.
The following explains your cooling system and how
to
add coolant when it is low. If you have a problem with
engine overheating, see Engine Overheating on
page
5-28.
A
50150
mixture of clean, drinkable water and
DEX-COOL@ coolant will:
Give freezing protection down
to
-34°F (-37°C).
Give boiling protection up
to
265°F
(129°C).
Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
Let the warning lights and gages work as they
should.
Notice:
When adding coolant,
it
is important that
you use only
DEX-COOL@
(silicate-free) coolant.
If
coolant other than DEX-COOL@ is added to
the system, premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion may result. In addition, the engine
coolant will require change sooner
--
at
30,000
miles
(50,000
km)
or
24
months, whichever occurs first.
Damage caused by the use of coolant other
than DEX-COOL@ is not covered by your new vehicle
warranty.
