WARNING
You can be burned if you spill
coolant on hot engine parts.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol
and it will burn if the engine parts
are hot enough. Do not spill
coolant on a hot engine.
3.0 L V6 Engine
1. Remove the coolant surge tank
pressure cap when the cooling
system, including the coolant
surge tank pressure cap and
upper radiator hose, is no longer
hot.
Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise about
one-quarter of a turn. If you hear
a hiss, wait for that to stop. This
will allow any pressure still left to
be vented out the discharge
hose.
2. Then keep turning the pressure
cap slowly and remove it.
3. Fill the coolant surge tank with
®
the proper DEX-COOL coolant
mixture to the indicated level
mark.
4. With the coolant surge tank
pressure cap off, start the engine
and let it run until you can feel the
upper radiator hose getting hot.
Watch out for the engine cooling
fan.
By this time, the coolant level
inside the coolant surge tank may
be lower. If the level is lower, add
more of the proper DEX-COOL
coolant mixture to the coolant
surge tank until the level reaches
the indicated level mark.
5. Then replace the pressure cap.
Be sure the pressure cap is
hand-tight.
