Vehicle Care

What to Use

{

Warning

Plain water, or other liquids such
as alcohol, can boil before the
proper coolant mixture will. With
plain water or the wrong mixture,
the engine could get too hot but
there would not be an overheat
warning. The engine could catch
fire and you or others could be
burned.

Use a 50/50 mixture of clean,
drinkable water and DEX-COOL
coolant. If using this mixture,
nothing else needs to be added.
This mixture:

.

Gives freezing protection down
to

37 °C (

34 °F), outside

temperature

.

Gives boiling protection up to
129 °C (265 °F), engine
temperature

.

Protects against rust and
corrosion

.

Will not damage aluminum parts

.

Helps keep the proper engine
temperature

Caution

Do not use anything other than a
mix of DEX-COOL coolant that
meets GM Standard
GMW3420 and clean, drinkable
water. Anything else can cause
damage to the engine cooling
system and the vehicle, which
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.

Never dispose of engine coolant by
putting it in the trash, pouring it on
the ground, or into sewers, streams,
or bodies of water. Have the coolant
changed by an authorized service
center, familiar with legal
requirements regarding used
coolant disposal. This will help
protect the environment and your
health.

Checking Coolant

The vehicle must be on a level
surface when checking the coolant
level.
