When the differential is cold, add enough lubricant to raise the level to 1/2 inch (12 below the filler mm) plug hole. When the differentialis at operating temperature (warm), add enough lubricant raise the level to to the bottom of the filler plug hole. What to Use Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of lubricant to use. "Recommended Fluids and See Lubricants" inthe Index. What to Use Use a mixtureof one-half clean water (preferably distilled) and one-half coolant 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. you use this mixture, don't need If you to add anything else. Engine Coolant The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when is low. If youhave a it problem with engine overheating, see "Engine Overheating" in the Index. A 50/50 mixture of water andthe proper coolant will: 0 Give freezing protection down to -33°F (-36°C). Give boiling protection to 258 O F (1 25 C). up O Protect against rust and corrosion. Help keep the proper engine temperature. Let the warning lights and gages work as they should. Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water, or some other liquid likealcohol, can boil before the proper coolant mixturewill. Your vehicle's coolant warning systemis set for the proper coolant mixture. With plain water the wrong mixture, or too your engine could get hot butyou wouldn't get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire and or otherscould be burned. you Use a 50/50 mixture of clean waterand the proper coolant.

When
the
differential
is
cold,
add
enough
lubricant
to
raise
the
level
to
1/2
inch
(12
mm)
below the filler
plug
hole.
When
the
differential
is at
operating
temperature
(warm),
add
enough
lubricant
to raise
the
level
to
the bottom
of
the filler plug
hole.
What to Use
Refer
to
the
Maintenance
Schedule
to
determine
what
kind of lubricant
to
use. See “Recommended
Fluids
and
Lubricants”
in
the Index.
Engine
Coolant
The following
explains
your
cooling
system
and
how
to
add
coolant
when
it
is low.
If
youhave
a
problem
with
engine
overheating,
see
“Engine
Overheating”
in
the
Index.
A
50/50
mixture
of water
and the proper
coolant
will:
0
Give
freezing
protection
down
to
-33°F
(-36°C).
Give
boiling
protection
up to
258
O
F
(1
25
O
C).
Protect
against
rust
and
corrosion.
Help
keep
the
proper
engine
temperature.
Let the warning
lights
and
gages
work
as
they
should.
What
to
Use
Use
a
mixture
of
one-half
clean
water
(preferably
distilled)
and
one-half
coolant
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.
Adding only plain
water
to
your cooling system
can
be
dangerous.
Plain water, or some other
liquid
like alcohol, can boil before the
proper
coolant
mixture will.
Your
vehicle’s coolant
warning
system
is
set
for
the
proper
coolant
mixture.
With
plain
water
or the wrong mixture,
your
engine
could
get
too
hot
but
you
wouldn’t
get the
overheat
warning. Your engine
could
catch
fire
and
you or
others
could
be
burned.
Use a
50/50
mixture
of
clean
waterand
the
proper coolant.
