How
to
Add
Fluid
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
1evel.It
doesn’t
take
much
fluid, generally less
than a pint (OSL).
Don’t
overfill.
We recommend
ou
use
only fluid labeled DEXRON
&
-111
or DEXRON@-IIE, because fluids
with
that label are made especially for
your automatic transaxle. Damage
caused by fluid other than
DEXRON@-111
or
DEXRON@-IIE
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.
Engine
Coolant
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.
The proper
coolant for your
Chevrolet
will:
Give freezing protection down to
-40°F (-37°C).
0
Give
boiling protection up to
262°F
(128°C).
0
Protect against rust
and corrosion.
Help
keep
the
proper
engine
temperature.
0
Let
the
warning lights work
as
they
should.
What
to
Use
Use a mixture of one-half clean water
(preferably distilled) and
one-half
antifreeze that
meets
“GM Specification
1825-M,” which
won’t damage aluminum
parts.
You
can also use a recycled
coolant
conforming
to
GM
Specification 1825-M
with a complete
coolant flush and refill. If
you
use
this mixture, you
don’t
need to
add
anything else.
