6. Start the engine and let it run until you can feel the

upper radiator hose getting hot. Watch out for the

engine cooling fan.

7. By this time, the coolant level inside the radiator

ﬁller neck may be lower. If the level is lower, add

more of the proper DEX-COOL coolant mixture

through the ﬁller neck until the level reaches

the base of the ﬁller neck.

8. Then replace the pressure cap. At any time during

this procedure if coolant begins to ﬂow out of the

ﬁller neck, reinstall the pressure cap. Be sure

the pressure cap is hand-tight and fully seated.

Notice: If the pressure cap is not tightly installed,

coolant loss and possible engine damage may occur.

Be sure the cap is properly and tightly secured.
