don’t
do anything else until it cools down.
When
it is cool, remove the coolant recovery tank cap
and look at the dipstick. The coolant
level should be
FULL COLD. If it isn’t, you
may have
a leak in the radiator hoses, heater hoses,
radiator, water pump
or somewhere else in the cooling
system.
I NOTICE:
Engine damage from running your engine
without coolant
isn’t covered by your warranty.
If there seems to be no leak, with the engine on check to
see if the electric engine fan is running. If the engine is
overheating, the fan should be running. If it isn’t, your
vehicle needs service.

Recovery Tank
If you haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant level
isn’t at
FULL COLD , add a 50/50 mixture of clean
water (preferably distilled) and a proper antifreeze at
the coolant recovery tank. (See “Engine Coolant” in
the Index for more information about
the proper
coolant mix.)
I NOTICE: I
In cold weather, water can freeze and crack the
engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
Use
the recommended coolant.

Don’t add anything to your oil. Your Chevrolet dealer is
ready to advise if you think something should be added.
When to Change Engine Oil
See if any one of these is true for you:

Most trips are less than 5 to 10 miles (8 to 16 km).
This is particularly important when outside
temperatures are below freezing.
Most trips include extensive idling (such as frequent
driving
in stop and go traffic).
Most trips are through dusty areas.
You frequently tow a trailer or use a carrier on top
of
your car.
If any one of these is true for your vehicle, then you
need to change your oil and filter every
3,000 miles
(5 000 km) or 3 months -- whichever comes first.
If none of them is true, change the oil and filter every
7,500 miles (12 500 km) or 12 months -- whichever
comes first.
Engine Coolant Heater
An engine coolant heater can be a big help if you have
to park outside in very cold weather,
0°F (- 18 “C) or
colder.
If your vehicle has this option, see “Engine
Coolant Heater” in the Index.
What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil contains certain
elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could
even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your skin
for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and
water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw
away clothing or rags containing used engine oil. (See
the manufacturer’s warnings about the use and disposal
of oil products.)
Used oil can be a real threat to the environment.
If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all free-flowing oil
from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose of oil
by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams
or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle it by taking
it to a place that collects used oil. If
you have a problem properly disposing of your used oil,
ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling
center for help.

The following explains your cooling system and how to
add coolant when it
is low. If you have a problem with
engine overheating or if you need to add coolant to your
radiator, see “Engine Overheating”
in the Index.
The proper coolant for your Chevrolet will:
Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C).
Give boiling protection up to 262” F ( 128 * C).
Protect against rust and corrosion.
0 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. If you use this mixture, you don’t need to add
anything else.
I NOTICE:
If you use an improper coolant mix, your engine
could overheat and
be badly damaged. The
repair
cost wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty.
Too much water in the mix can freeze
and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and
other parts.
