What to Use
Use a mixture of one-half clean water (preferably
distilled) and one-half antifreeze that meets "GM
Specification 1825-M," which won't damage aluminum
parts. You can also use a recycled coolant conforming to
GM Specification 1825-M with a complete coolant flush
and refill. Use GM Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer)
with any complete coolant flush and refill. If you use
this mixture, you don't need to add anything else.
NOTICE:
If you use an improper coolant mix, your engine
could overheat and be badly damaged. The
repair cost wouldn't be covered by your
warranty. Too much water in the
mix
can freeze
and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and
other parts.
