ENGINE COOLANT
Checking engine coolant
The concentration and level of engine coolant should be checked at the
mileage intervals listed in theScheduledMaintenanceGuide. The
coolant concentration should be maintained at 50/50 coolant and distilled
water, which equates to a freeze point of -36° C (-34° F). Coolant
concentration testing is possible with a hydrometer or antifreeze tester
(such as the Rotunda Battery and Antifreeze Tester, 014–R1060). The
level of coolant should be maintained at the“cold full” of“cold fill range”
level in the coolant reservoir. If the level falls below, add coolant per the
instructions in theAddingenginecoolant section.
Your vehicle was factory-filled with a 50/50 engine coolant and water
concentration. If the concentration of coolant falls below 40% or above
60%,
the engine parts could become damaged or not work properly.A
