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
ADD
mark, add a
50/50
mixture
of
clean
water
(preferably distilled) and DEX-COOL
TM
(silicate-free) antifreeze 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 mix will. Your vehicle’s coolant warning
system is set for the proper coolant mix. With
plain water or the wrong mix, 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
mix of clean
water and
DEX-COOL
coolant.
I
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 mix.
