When adding coolant, it is important that you use
only DEX-COOL@ (silicate-free) coolant.
If coolant other than DEX-COOL@ is added to
the system, premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion may result. In addition, the
engine coolant will require change sooner
--
at
30,000 miles (50 000 km) or 24 months,
whichever occurs first. Damage caused by the use
of coolant other than DEX-COOL@ is not
covered by your new vehicle warranty.
Adding only plain water to your cooling system can
be dangerous. Plain water, or some other liquid like
alcohol, can boil before the proper coolant mix
wi l l .
Your vehicle's coolant warning system is set for the
proper coolant
mix.
With plain water or the wrong
mix,
your engine could get too hot but you
wouldn't get the overheat warning. Your engine
could catch fire and you or others could be
burned. Use a 50/50
mix
of clean water and
DEX-COOL@ coolant.
What to Use
Use a mixture of one-half clean water (preferably
distilled) and one-half DEX-COOL@ coolant which
won't damage aluminum parts.
If
you use this mixture,
you don't need to add anything else.
