COOLING SYSTEM
KEM Equipment
and
GM Powertrain
recommends the use of
DEX COOL
coolant
in all
GM
engines. A
50/50 mixture is recommended.
WARNING:
Engine Damage may occur:
All Generation V GM engines must be
vacuum filled with coolant. If you need assistance or have questions call your local
service dealer. Failure to vacuum fill this engine with the recommended coolant may
void all warranty.
WARNING:
Never remove the heat exchanger cap under any condition while the
engine is operating. Failure to follow these instructions could result in damage to the
cooling system, engine, or cause personal injury.
CAUTION:
DO NOT add coolant or water to any engine that has become
overheated until the engine cools. Adding coolant or water to an extremely hot engine
can result in a cracked block or cylinder head.
COOLANT LEVEL
CAUTION:
DO NOT mix DEX-COOL (pink/orange colored) with traditional (green)
ethylene glycol. Refer to the mixture chart on the container for additional antifreeze
protection information. DO NOT use alcohol or methanol antifreeze, or mix them with the
specified coolant. Plain water may be used in an emergency (except in freezing
temperatures), replace water with the specified coolant as quickly as possible to avoid
damage to the system.
Check the coolant level of the heat exchanger daily and only when the engine is cool. Generally
a good time to do this is just prior to starting the engine for the first time each day.
Plain water may be used in an emergency, but replace it with the specified coolant as quickly as
possible to avoid damage to the system. Do not let the engine run hot with only water acting as
the primary coolant.
