1995 CHEVROLET ASTRO CARGO VAN engine coolant

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To Check Coolant
When your engine is cold, the coolant level should be at ADD, or a little
higher. When your engine is warm,
the level should be up to FULL HOT, or
a little higher.
To Add Coolant
If you need more coolant, add the proper mix at the coolant recovery tank.
~~ ~
Add coolant mix at the recovery tank, but be careful not to spill it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Radiator Pressure Cap
NOTICE:
Your radiator cap is a 15 psi (105 kPa) pressure-type cap and
must be tightly installed to prevent coolant
loss and possible
engine damage from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap \
line up with the overflow tube on the radiator filler neck.
Thermostat
~ When you replace
1 your radiator pressure cap, a
GM cap is
1 recommended. See
l “Service Replacement
I Parts and Filler
Recommendations” in
the Index.
Engine coolant temperature is controlled
by a thermostat in the engine
coolant system. The thermostat stops
the flow of coolant through the
radiator until the coolant reaches
a preset temperature.
When
you replace your thermostat, an AC@ thermostat is recommended.
