Checking Coolant - Chevrolet 2008 Corvette Owner's Manual

Checking Coolant

5-30
The engine coolant surge
tank is located toward the
rear of the engine
compartment on the
driver's side of the vehicle.
See Engine Compartment
Overview on page 5-14
for more information
on location.
CAUTION:
{
Turning the surge tank pressure cap when the
engine and radiator are hot can allow steam
and scalding liquids to blow out and burn you
badly. Never turn the surge tank pressure
cap — even a little — when the engine and
radiator are hot.
The vehicle must be on a level surface. When your
engine is cold, the coolant level should be at the FULL
COLD mark. The FULL COLD mark is on the front
of the coolant surge tank. Do not overfill the surge tank.
Too much coolant can result in an overflow when the
fluid is hot.
