Engine Coolant
The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with new
DEX-COOL
TM
(orange-colored, silicate-free) engine
coolant. This coolant is designed to remain in your
vehicle for S years or 100,000 miles (1 66 000 km),
whichever occurs first.
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 SO/SO mixture of water and the proper coolant for
your Oldsmobile will:
0
Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C).
0
Give boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C).
0
Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
Let the warning lights and gages work as
they should.
