How to Add Fluid Refer to theMaintenance Schedule to determine what kind of transaxle fluid to use.See "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index. If the fluid level low, add only is enough of the proper fluid to bring level into the cross-hatched area on the the dipstick. 1. Pull outthe dipstick. 2. Using along-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the dipstick hole to bringit to theproper level. It doesn't take muchfluid, generally less than a pint (OSL). Don't overjill. We recommend you use only fluid labeled DEXRON@-III,because fluid with that label is made especially for your automatic transaxle. Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON@-111 is not covered by your new vehicle warranty. a After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as described under "How to Check." a When the correct fluid levelis obtained, push the dipstick backin all the way. Engine Coolant The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when is low. If you have a problem with it engine overheating, see "Engine Overheating" in the Index. The proper coolant for your Oldsmobile will: Give freezing protectiondown to -34°F (-37 "C) . Give boiling protection up to 262°F (128" C) . Protect against rust and corrosion. Help keep the proper engine temperature. Let the warning lights work as they should. What to Use Use amixture of one-half clean water (preferably distilled) and one-half antifreeze that meets "GM Specification 1825M," which won't damage aluminum parts. You can also use a recycled coolant conforming to GM Specification 1825M with a complete coolant flush and refill. Use GM Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer) with anycomplete coolant flush and refill.If you use this mixture, you don't need to add anything else. 6-23

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.
2.
a
a
Pull
out the dipstick.
Using
along-neck funnel, add enough fluid
at
the
dipstick hole to
bringit to
theproper level.
It
doesn’t
take
much fluid, generally
less
than
a
pint
(OSL).
Don’t
overjill.
We recommend you
use
only
fluid
labeled DEXRON@-III, because fluid with that
label
is made especially for your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused
by
fluid
other
than
DEXRON@-111
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,
see
“Engine Overheating”
in
the
Index.
The proper coolant for your Oldsmobile will:
Give
freezing
protection down
to
-34°F
(-37
“C)
.
Give
boiling
protection
up
to
262°F (128
C)
.
Protect
against
rust
and
corrosion.
Help
keep
the proper engine temperature.
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
1825M,”
which
won’t damage aluminum
parts. You can also use a
recycled
coolant
conforming
to
GM
Specification
1825M with a complete coolant flush
and refill. Use GM Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer)
with
any complete coolant flush and
refill. If
you use
this
mixture,
you
don’t
need
to
add
anything else.
