1993 CADILLAC DEVILLE adding oil

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 Cadillac will:
0 Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C) .
0 Give boiling protection up to 262°F (128” C) .
0 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 Specification 1825-M,” which won’t damage
aluminum parts.
You can also use a recycled coolant conforming to GM
Specification 1825-M with a complete coolant flush and refill. Use GM
Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer) with any complete coolant change.
If you use these, you don’t need to add anything else.
A CAUTION:
Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be
dangerous. Plain water,
or some other liquid like alcohol, can
boil before the proper coolant mix
will. Your vehicle’s coolant
warning system is set for the proper coolant mix. With plain
water or the wrong mix, your engine could get too hot but you
wouldn’t get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire
and
you or others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mix of clean
Waf--- and
a proper anti” e. .-

sponge and then rinse the balance
of the cleaner off with water. Use a
liberal amount
of water to prevent the cleaner from running down onto
the body finish and drying. This could cause streaks to the paint
finish.
If the cover material has been stained with grease, oil or tar, use G.M.
Spot Lifter (G.M. Part No. 1051398) and follow label directions.
The texture and material
of the phaeton top material causes it to be
receptive to lint accumulation; therefore, the use
of certain types of cloth
during cleaning operations
will cause a temporary lint discoloration. To
avoid this, use a brush or suitable sponge when cleaning.
No waxes, polishes, sealers or “dressing” type materials should be applied
to the top material.
ALUMINUM WHEELS
Your aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar to the painted
surface
of your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polish,
or other abrasive cleaners
on them because you could damage this
coating. After rinsing thoroughly, a
wax may be applied.
Don’t use an automatic vehicle wash that has hard silico
carbide cleaning b
WHITE SIDEWaL TIIRES
Your Cadillac dealer has a GM White Sidewall Tire Cleaner. You can use
a stiff brush with it.
WEATHERSTRIPS
These are places where glass or metal meets rubber. Silicone grease there
will make them last longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with a clean cloth at least every six months.
