How to Check and Add Fluid

The proper fluid should be added if the level does
not reach the bottom of the diaphragm when it
is in place in the reservoir. See the instructions on
the reservoir cap.

Engine Coolant

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 338.

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: 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.
