How to Add Coolant to the Cooling

System (3.6L V6 Engine)

Notice: Your engine has a speciﬁc cooling system

drain and ﬁll procedure. Failure to follow this

procedure could cause your engine to overheat

and be severely damaged. If your engine’s cooling

system needs to be drained and re-ﬁlled, please

see your dealer.

1. You can remove the

pressure cap when

the cooling system,

including the pressure

cap and upper radiator

hose is no longer hot.

Turn the pressure

cap slowly

counterclockwise.

If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss

means that there is still some pressure left.

2. Then keep turning the pressure cap and remove it.

{CAUTION:

You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot

engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol

and it will burn if the engine parts are hot

enough. Do not spill coolant on a hot engine.

3. Fill the cooling system with the proper DEX-COOL

coolant mixture, up to the base of the ﬁller neck.

See Engine Coolant on page 5-24 for more

information about the proper coolant mixture.

4. Rinse or wipe any spilled coolant from the engine

and the compartment.
