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 vehicle 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 and gages 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 6038-M,” or “GM Specification
6043-M’ with the 2.2L (LN2) Code 4 engine, which won’t damage
aluminum parts.
You
can also use a recycled coolant conforming to “GM
Specification 603%”’ or “GM Specification 6043-M” with the 2.2L
(LN2) Code 4 engine. Use GM Coolant Supplement (Sealer) with a
complete coolant flush and refill. If you use this mixture, you don’t need to
add anything else.
