3. Fill the coolant surge tank with the proper

DEX-COOL

®

coolant mixture, to slightly above

the FULL COLD/FROID line on the side of
the coolant surge tank.

4. With the coolant surge tank pressure cap off,

start the engine and let it run until you can feel
the upper radiator hose getting hot. The upper
radiator hose is the largest of the hoses which
comes out of the radiator, on the passenger
side of the vehicle. Watch out for the engine
cooling fans.

By this time, the coolant level inside the coolant
surge tank may be lower. If the level is lower, add
more of the proper mixture to the coolant surge tank
until the level reaches the FULL COLD/FROID
line on the side of the coolant surge tank.

5. Then replace the pressure cap. Be sure the

pressure cap is hand-tight and fully seated.

Start the engine and allow it to warm up.
