Cooling System (Intercooler) - Chevrolet 2009 Corvette Owner's Manual

CAUTION: (Continued)
Do not run the engine if there is a leak. If you run
the engine, it could lose all coolant. That could
cause an engine fire, and you could be burned.
Get any leak fixed before you drive the vehicle.
Notice: Using coolant other than DEX-COOL
cause premature engine, heater core, or radiator
corrosion. In addition, the engine coolant could
require changing sooner, at 30,000 miles (50 000 km)
or 24 months, whichever occurs first. Any repairs
would not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always use DEX-COOL
in the vehicle.

Cooling System (Intercooler)

The 6.2L LS9 supercharged V8 engine has an
intercooler cooling system. See Engine Compartment
Overview on page 5-14 for location of the intercooler.
The intercooler cooling system has a special procedure
for draining and adding coolant. Because this procedure
is difficult, see your dealer/retailer for service if the
intercooler is low on coolant. The procedure can also
be found in the service manual. To purchase a service
can
manual, see Service Publications Ordering Information
on page 7-15.
