Hydraulic  Clutch 
The hydraulic  clutch  linkage  in your  vehicle  is 
self-adjusting.  The clutch  master  cylinder  reservoir 
is 
filled  with  hydraulic  clutch  fluid. 
It isn’t  a  good  idea to “top  off’ your  clutch  fluid.  Adding 
fluid  won’t  correct 
a leak. 
A  fluid  loss  in  this  system  could  indicate a problem. 
Have  the  system  inspected and  repaired. 
When to Check  and  What to Use 
Refer to the Maintenance 
Schedule  to determine  how 
often  you should  check the 
fluid  level  in  your clutch 
master  cylinder  reservoir 
and  for the  proper  fluid.  See 
“Owner  Checks  and 
Services”  and 
“Recommended  Fluids  and 
Lubricants”  in the  Index. 
How to Check 
If  you can see fluid  in  the reservoir, the level is 
acceptable. 
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  Oldsmobile will: 
0 Give  freezing protection  down to -34°F (-37°C). 
Give  boiling protection up to 262°F ( 128 O C). 
0 Protect  against  rust and  corrosion. 
0 Help  keep  the  proper  engine  temperature. 
0 Let  the  warning lights work as they should.
