Oldsmobile SILHOUETTE GTK 2004, Owner'S Manual

Checking Coolant
The coolant recovery tank
is located on the driver’s
side of the vehicle,
above the engine air
cleaner/filter. See
Engine
Compartment Overview
on page 5-12 for more
information on location.
The vehicle must be on a level surface. When your
engine is cold, the coolant level should be at the
FULL COLD mark, or a little higher. When your engine
is warm, the level should be above the FULL COLD
mark or a little higher.
Adding Coolant
If you need more coolant, add the proper DEX-COOL
®
coolant mixture
at the coolant recovery tank.
{
CAUTION:
Turning the radiator pressure cap when the
engine and radiator are hot can allow steam
and scalding liquids to blow out and burn you
badly. With the coolant recovery tank, you will
almost never have to add coolant at the
radiator. Never turn the radiator pressure
cap — even a little — when the engine and
radiator are hot.
Add coolant mixture at the coolant recovery tank, but be
careful not to spill it.
