NOTICE: When adding coolant, it is important that you use GM Goodwrench DEX-COOL®
or HAVOLINE® DEX-COOL® coolant. If Coolant other than DEX-COOL®
or HAVOLINE® DEX-COOL® is added to the system the engine coolant will
require change sooner; at 50 000 km (30,000 mi)
or 24 months.
This vehicle has
a newly developed engine coolant. GM Goodwrench® DEX-COOL® was developed
to last for 240 000 km (150,000 mi) or 5 years, whichever
occurs first. Follow the instructions in Draining and Filling Cooling System.
Make sure only GM Goodwrench® DEX-COOL® (silicate-free) or Havoline®
DEX-COOL® is used when coolant is added or changed.
A 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol (DEX-COOL®) and water will provide
the following protection:
| | Notice: Pure coolant can be added to raise the boiling point of the coolant,
but too much will affect the freezing point. Do not use a solution stronger
than 70 percent, as the freeze level rises rapidly after this point.
Pure coolant will freeze at -22°C (-8°F).
|
| • | Give freezing protection down to -37°C (-34°F). |
| • | Give boiling protection up to 129°C (260°F). |
| • | Protect against rust and corrosion. |
| • | Help keep the proper engine temperature. |
| • | Let the warning lights and gauges work correctly. |
