Checking Coolant - Chevrolet 2002 S10 Pickup Owner's Manual

Checking Coolant

The coolant recovery tank is located toward the front of
the engine compartment on the passenger's side of the
vehicle. See "Engine Compartment Overview" in the
Index for more information on location.
The vehicle must be on a level surface. When your
engine is cold, the coolant level should be at ADD, or a
little higher. When your engine is warm, the level should
be up to FULL HOT, or a little higher.

If you need more coolant, add the proper DEX
coolant mixture at the coolant recovery tank.

badly. With the coolant recovery tank, you will
almost never have to add coolant at the radiator.
