How to Add Coolant to the Coolant
Surge Tank
If you haven't found a problem yet, but the coolant level
isn't at the KALT/COLD line (seam), add a 50/50
mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX
coolant at the coolant surge tank, but be sure the cooling
system, including the coolant surge tank pressure cap, is
cool before you do it. (See "Engine Coolant" in the
Index for more information.)
