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 DEX-COOL@
coolant will:
0
Give freezing protection down
to
-34°F
(-37°C).
0
Give boiling protection up to
265
OF
(1
29
O
C).
0
Protect against rust and corrosion.
0
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
0
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@
