How
to
Check
You
do
not need to check the fluid level unless you
suspect a clutch problem.
To
check the fluid level, take
the cap
off.
If
the fluid reaches the step inside the
reservoir, the fluid level is correct.
Engine
Coolant
The cooling
s
stem in your vehicle is filled with
DEX-COOL
8
engine coolant. This coolant is designed
to remain in your vehicle for
5
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” in
the Index.
A
50/50
mixture
of
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:
When adding coolant,
it
is
important that you
use only
DEX-COOL@
(silicate-free) coolant.
If
coolant other than DEX-COOL is added to
the system, premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion may result. In addition, the
engine coolant will require change sooner
--
at
30,000
miles
(50
000
km) or
24
months,
whichever occurs first. Damage caused by the
use
of
coolant other than
DEX-COOL@
is not
covered by your new vehicle warranty.
