How to Check and Add Fluid

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 level reaches the top of the

reservoir, the fluid level is correct. It isn’t a good idea to

top off your clutch fluid. Adding fluid won’t correct a

leak. A fluid loss in this system could indicate a

problem. Have the system inspected and repaired.

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

DEX

-COOL 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 clean, drinkable water and

DEX-COOL coolant will:

Give freezing protection down to

-34 F (-37 C).

Give boiling protection up to 265 F (129 C).

Protect against rust and corrosion.

Help keep the proper engine temperature.

Let the warning lights and gages work as

they should.

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. Damage caused by the

use of coolant other than DEX

-COOL is not

covered by your new vehicle warranty.
