How
to
Add
Fluid
Engine
Coolant
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind
of
transaxle fluid
to
use. See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants”
in
the Index.
If the fluid
level
is low, add only enough
of
the proper
fluid to bring the level into the cross-hatched area on
the
dipstick.
1.
Pull out the dipstick.
2.
Using
a
long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the
dipstick hole to bring
it
to
the proper level. It doesn’t
take much fluid, generally less than
a
pint (OSL).
Don
’t
overfill.
We recommend you use only fluid
labeled DEXRON@-111, because fluid with that
label is made especially for your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON@-I11
is
not
covered by your new vehicle warranty.

After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level
as
described under “How to Check.”

When
the
correct fluid level is obtained, push the
dipstick back
in
all the way.
The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with new
DEX-COOL
TM
(orange-colored, silicate-free) engine
coolant. This coolant is designed
to
remain
in
your
vehicle for
5
years or 100,000 miles
(
166
000
km),
whichever occurs first.
The following explains your cooling system and how
to
add coolant when
it
is low.
If
you have
a
problem with
engine overheating
or
if
you need to add coolant to your
radiator, see “Engine Overheating”
in
the
Index.
A
50/50
mixture
of
water and the proper coolant for
your Chevrolet will:
0
Give freezing protection down to
-34°F
(-37°C).
0
Give boiling protection up to
265°F
(129°C).
Protect against rust and corrosion.
0
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
0
Let the warning lights and gages work
as
they
should.
