How to Check
You do not need to check the fluid level unless you
suspect a clutch problem. To check the fluid level, take
the cap off.
If
the fluid reaches the step inside the
reservoir, the fluid level is correct.
Engine Coolant
The cooling system in your vehicle is filled
with DEX-COOL@ engine coolant. This coolant is
designed to remain in your vehicle for
5 years
or
150,000 miles (240 000
km),
whichever occurs first,
if you
add
only REX-CQOL@ extended life coolant.
The following explains your cooling system and how to
add coolant when it is low. If you have a problem with
engine overheating, see "Engine Overheating" in
the Index.
A 50/50 mixture of water and DEX-COOL'
coolant will:
Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C).
Give boiling protection up to 265
O F
(
129
O
C ) .
Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
Let the warning lights
and gages work as they
should.
I
NOTICE:
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.
