radiator by the suction created by
coolant contraction. The cooling
system has been filled at the factory

around coolant that meets the stan
dards of General Motors Specifica
tion 1899-M. This coolant solution
provides freezing protection to

it has been formulated to be used
for two full calendar years or
24,000 miles, whichever first oc
curs, of normal operation without
