®

designed to remain in your vehicle for five years or
150,000 miles (240 000 km), whichever occurs
first, if you add only DEX-COOL
life coolant.
The following explains your cooling system and
how to add coolant when it is low. If you have

Overheating on page 388.

Giving freezing protection down to 34°F
( 37°C).
•
Give boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C).

coolant may require changing sooner, at

whichever occurs first. Any repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Always use
®
DEX-COOL (silicate-free) coolant in your
vehicle.
