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:

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.

To Check Coolant
When your engine is cold, check the dipstick on the cap
of the coolant recovery tank. The coolant level should
be at
COLD, or a little higher. When your engine is
warm, the level on the dipstick should be up to the HOT,
or a little higher.
5.7L LT1 Engine Only
If this light comes on, it means you’re low on engine
coolant.
To Add Coolant to the Recovery Tank
If you need more coolant, add the proper mix ut the
coolant
recovery tank, but only when your engine is
cool. If the tank is very low or empty, also add coolant
to the radiator, see “Engine Overheating” in the Index
for information.

1 Add coolant mix at the recovery tank, but be careful not
, to spill it.
Radiator Pressure Cap (All Engines)
NOTICE:
Your radiator cap is a 18 psi (124 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.
When you replace your radiator pressure cap, an AC@
cap is recommended.
Thermostat
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.
