Engine
Coolant
The cooling
s
stem
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-COOL’ 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” in
the Index.
A
50/50
mixture of water and the DEX-COOL@ coolant
for your vehicle will:
Give freezing protection down to
-34°F
(-37°C).
0
Give boiling protection up to
265 OF
(
129
O
C).
Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
Let the warning lights and gages work as
8
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.
What
to
Use
Use a mixture of one-half
clean water
(preferably
distilled) and one-half DEX-COOL@ coolant which
won’t damage aluminum parts. If you use this mixture,
you don’t need to add anything else.
