How
to
Add
Fluid
Engine
Coolant
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transaxle fluid to use. See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough
of
the proper
fluid to bring the level into the cross-hatched area on the
dipstick.
1.
Pull out
the
dipstick.
2.
Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the
dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level.
It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than a pint
(OSL).
Don
’t
oveflll.
We recommend you use only fluid
labeled DEXRON@-111, because fluid with that label is
made especially for your automatic transaxle. Damage
caused by fluid other than DEXRON@-111 is not covered
by your new vehicle warranty.
0
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under “How to Check.”
0
When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the
dipstick back in all the way.
The following explains your cooling system and how to
add coolant when
it
is low. If you have a problem with
engine overheating or
if
you need to add coolant to your
radiator, see “Engine Overheating” in the Index.
The proper coolant for your Chevrolet will:
Give freezing protection down to
-34°F
(-37
“C).
Give boiling protection up to
262
OF
(1
28
O
C).
Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.

Let the warning lights work as they should.
What
to
Use
Use a mixture of one-half
clean water
(preferably
distilled) and one-half antifreeze that meets
“GM
Specification
1825-M,”
which won’t damage aluminum
parts. You can also use a recycled coolant conforming to
GM Specification
1825-M
with a complete coolant flush
and refill. Use
GM
Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer)
with any complete coolant flush and refill. If you use
this mixture, you don’t need to add anything else.
