Engine Coolant
It is recommended to use distilled or deionize water in engine cooling systems.
Coolant should be added to the coolant reservoir, not directly to the radiator.
Only use coolant that meets or exceeds ASTM D4985 specifications.
Use coolant mixture 1:1 (water:coolant) for normal conditions and up to 1:2 for additional freezing
protection for extreme climates.
Adding Coolant
The coolant recovery tank will be located in the
engine compartment. The location of the tank will vary
depending on the vehicle configuration. An illustration
of the tank is shown to the left.
Coolant can be added to the coolant recovery tank at
any time. Add coolant until the coolant level is at the
line indicated by the current temperature of the engine.
It is
not
recommended to add coolant directly to the
radiator unless a large quantity of coolant must be
added.
When removing the radiator cap, make sure the
engine is cool and turn the cap slowly to allow
any residual pressure to be safely vented before
completely removing.
A low radiator level or a system that requires frequent
filling is an indication of a coolant leak and you should
have the system inspected by a qualified technician.
Drain and Refill
Refer to the service manual.
DO NOT remove the radiator cap until the engine has cooled. The cooling system in hot
engines is pressurized. Hot fluids and steam may be vented at high rates causing severe
burns and/or other severe injuries.
WARNING
Allow engine to cool before adding coolant. Adding coolant to a hot engine may damage
the engine do to temperature differential
NOTICE
•
Do not use hard water or water that has been conditioned using salt or sea water.
•
Do not mix DEX-COOL (orange) with traditional ethylene glycol (green) coolants.
