DEX-COOL'
coolant mixture at the surge tank, but only when the
engine is cool.

You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol,
and it will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Don't spill coolant on
a
hot engine.
When replacing the pressure cap, make sure it is tight.
Surge Tank Pressure Cap
1
NOTICE:
Your surge tank cap is
a 15
psi (105 kPa)
pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed to
prevent coolant loss and possible engine damage
from overheating.
When you replace your surge tank pressure cap, a GM
cap is recommended.
Thermostat
Engine coolant temperature is controlled by a thermostat
in the engine coolant system. The thermostat stops the
flow
of
coolant through
the
radiator until the coolant
reaches a preset temperature.
When you replace your thermostat, an AC@ thermostat
is recommended.
