What to Use
Use a mixture of one-half clean, drinkable water and
one-half DEX-COOL
®
coolant which will not damage
aluminum parts. If you use this coolant mixture, you do
not need to add anything else.
{CAUTION: SIO-ID=818440 LMD=13-dec-2006
Adding only plain water to the cooling system
can be dangerous. Plain water, or some other
liquid such as alcohol, can boil before the
proper coolant mixture will. The vehicle’s
coolant warning system is set for the proper
coolant mixture. With plain water or the wrong
mixture, the engine could get too hot but you
would not get the overheat warning. The
engine could catch fire and you or others
could be burned. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean,
drinkable water and DEX-COOL
®
coolant.
Notice:
SIO-ID=817236 LMD=10-aug-2005 If you use an
improper coolant mixture, your engine could
overheat and be badly damaged. The repair cost
would not be covered by your warranty. Too much
water in the mixture can freeze and crack the
engine, radiator, heater core, and other parts.
If you have to add coolant more than four times a year,
have your dealer/retailer check your cooling system.
Notice:
SIO-ID=1611407 LMD=18-feb-2005 If you
use extra inhibitors and/or additives in your
vehicle’s cooling system, you could damage your
vehicle. Use only the proper mixture of the engine
coolant listed in this manual for the cooling system.
