Automatic Transmission Fluid
OIE-ID = 1906482 Owner = kneved01 LMD = 27-feb-2007 LMB = kneved01
It is not necessary to check the transmission fluid level.
A transmission fluid leak is the only reason for fluid
loss. If a leak occurs, take your vehicle to the
dealer/retailer and have it repaired as soon as possible.
Change the fluid and filter at the intervals listed in
Additional Required Services on page 357, and be sure to
use the transmission fluid listed in Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 364.
Notice:
SIO-ID=1545680 LMD=17-aug-2004 Use of the
incorrect automatic transmission fluid may damage
your vehicle, and the damages may not be covered
by your warranty. Always use the automatic
transmission fluid listed in Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants on page 364.
For the 3.5L and 3.6L engines, the transmission fluid
will not reach the end of the dipstick unless the
transmission is at operating temperature. If you need to
check the transmission fluid level, please take your
vehicle to your dealer/retailer.
Engine Coolant
OIE-ID = 1871884 Owner = kneved01 LMD = 13-jun-2007 LMB = mcross01
The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with
DEX-COOL
®
engine coolant. This coolant is designed
to remain in your vehicle for five 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 on
page 269.
A 50/50 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:
SIO-ID=1567258 LMD=25-apr-2005 Using coolant
other than DEX-COOL
®
may cause premature
engine, heater core, or radiator corrosion. In
addition, the engine coolant may require changing
sooner, at the first maintenance service after
each 30,000 miles (50 000 km) or 24 months,
whichever occurs first. Any repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Always use DEX-COOL
®
(silicate-free) coolant in your vehicle.
