3. Add the proper DEX-COOL ® coolant mixture to the
fill neck, until the coolant reaches the COLD FILL
line on the fill neck.
With the Intercooler System pressure cap off, start
the engine and let it run for a couple of minutes.
Then turn the engine off. By this time, the coolant
level inside the fill neck may be lower. If the level
drops to where coolant is no longer visible in the
horizontal tube section of the fill neck, with the engine
off add more of the DEX-COOL
® coolant mixture
to the fill neck until the level is again visible in the
horizontal tube section.
4. Then replace the pressure cap. Be sure the
pressure cap is hand-tight and fully seated.
If the coolant is not at the proper level when the system
cools down again, see your dealer.
Notice: If the pressure cap is not tightly installed,
coolant loss and possible engine damage may
occur. Be sure the cap is properly and tightly
secured.
