Coolant Reimbursement Policy
General Motors supports the use of recycled engine coolant for warranty repairs/service, providing a GM approved engine coolant recycling system is

gallon of GM Goodwrench engine coolant concentrate at the dealer price plus the appropriate warranty parts handling allowance.
