Insert the catch tab on the cover shield under the bracket on the engine. 7.3. Place the hole in the cover shield over the hole in the valve cover. Install oil fill tube and cap by twisting clockwise. 5. Fill the radiator with the proper DEX-COOL® coolant mixture, up to the base of the filler neck. See Engine Coolant on page 5-31 for more information about the proper coolant mixture. If you see a stream of coolant coming from an air bleed valve, close the valve. Otherwise, close the valves after the radiator is filled. 6. Rinse or wipe any spilled coolant from the engine and the compartment. 8. Then fill the coolant recovery tank to the COLD mark. 9. Put the cap back on the coolant recovery tank, but leave the radiator pressure cap off. 5-45
