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
oveflll.
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@-111
is not
covered
by your
new
vehicle
warranty.
0
After
adding fluid, recheck the fluid
level as
described
under
“How
to
Check.”
0
When
the
correct fluid level is obtained,
push
the
dipstick
back
in
all the way.
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
-34°F
(-37
“C).
Give boiling
protectionup to
262
OF
(1
28
O
C).
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
