How
to
Add
Coolant
to
the
Coolant
Recovery
Tank
If
you haven’t found
a
problem yet, but
the
coolant
level isn’t at
the
COLD mark, add a
50/50
mixture of
clean water
(preferably distilled)
and
DEX-COOL@
engine coolant at the coolant recovery tank. (See
“Engine Coolant” in the
Index
for
more information.)
Adding only plain water to your cooling system
can be dangerous. Plain water, or some other
liquid like alcohol, can boil before the proper
coolant mixture will. Your vehicle’s coolant
warning system is set for the proper coolant
mixture. With plain water or the 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 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.
