What

to

Use

Use a mixture

of

one-half

clean

water

(preferably

distilled) and one-half

DEX-COOL@

coolant which

won’t damage aluminum parts.

If

you

use

this mixture,

you don’t need to add anything else.

Adding only plain water to your cooling system

can be dangerous. Plain water,

or

some other

liquid like alcohol, can boil before the proper

coolant mixture will. Your vehicle’s coolant

warning system is set for the proper coolant

mixture. With plain water or the wrong mixture,

your engine could get too hot but you wouldn’t

get the overheat warning. Your engine could

catch fire and you or others could be burned.

Use

a

50/50

mixture of clean water and

DEX-COOL@

coolant.

NOTICE:

If

you use an improper coolant mixture, your

engine could overheat and be badly damaged.

The repair cost wouldn’t be covered by your

warranty.

Too

much water in the mixture can

freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core

and other parts.

If you have to add coolant more

than

four times a year,

have your dealer check your cooling system.

NOTICE:

If you use the proper coolant, you don’t have to

add extra inhibitors or additives which claim to

improve the system. These can be harmful.
