NOTICE:
When adding coolant, it is important that you use
only
DEX-COOL@
(silicate-free) coolant.
If
coolant is 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 our new vehicle warranty.
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 mix will. Your vehicle’s coolant warning
system is set for the proper coolant mix. With
plain water or the wrong mix, 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
mix
of
clean
water and DEX-COOL%oolant.
