COOLANT RECOMMENDATIONS
The
inhibited year-around
engine
coolant, used
to
fill
the cooling
system
at
the factory is a high
quality
solution that m
eets
General Motors Speci-
fication
1899-M.
This
factory-fill
coolant
solution
is
formulated
to
withstand two full calendar years
of
normal operation without draining or adding
inhibitors,
provided
the
same concentration of
coolant is
added
if the
system
needs
additional
fluid
between drain per
iods.
The
original factory
fill coolant provides freezing protection
to _20 °F
.
(-
32°F. in
Canada)
.
Every two years, the
cooling system should
be
serviced
as follows:
1.
Drain coolant,
when
hot, through
the
radiator
drain
valve.
2.
Close valve and
add sufficient plain water to
fill system.
3.
Run engine until
normal
operating
tempera-
ture is reached.
