Adding only plain water or some other
liquid to the cooling system can be
dangerous. Plain water and other

coolant mixture will. The coolant
warning system is set for the proper
coolant mixture. With plain water or the
wrong mixture, the engine could get too
hot but you would not get the overheat
warning. The engine could catch fire and
you or others could be burned. Use a
50/ 50 mixture of clean, drinkable water
and DEX-COOL coolant.
Caution
If improper coolant mixture, inhibitors,
or additives are used in the vehicle
cooling system, the engine could
overheat and be damaged. Too much
water in the mixture can freeze and
crack engine cooling parts. Use only the
proper mixture of engine coolant for the
cooling system.
