3.
If the coolant is not within the proper range, use the chart to determine how much coolant must be drained and how much new undiluted) coolant
must be added in order to bring the freeze protection to the appropriate -40° F (-40° C) concentration.
4.
Correct the coolant concentration using the procedure below:
a.
Note the coolant level in the engine coolant bottle.
b.
Pour the appropriate amount of new undiluted) coolant (Refer to Coolant Concentration Correction Chart) into a clean container.
c.
Carefully remove the engine coolant bottle pressure cap.
WARNING:
Hot, pressurized coolant can cause injury by scalding.
d.
Attach funnel tool (Special Tool # 8195) to the engine coolant bottle opening (Figure 1).
e.
Open the radiator draincock to drain out the same amount of coolant as you are adding. Add new coolant (measured amount from the clean
container) into the funnel while the coolant is draining from the radiator. Do not allow the coolant level to go below the "MIN" line on the
vehicle coolant bottle.
CAUTION:
It is important to add new coolant at the same time the old coolant is being drained. Always keep the coolant level above the "MIN" line
in the coolant bottle while correcting the coolant concentration. This will prevent air from entering the cooling system and eliminate the
need to purge air from the cooling system.
f.
Close the radiator draincock (hand tighten only) when the required amount of new coolant has been added and the coolant is at the original
level in the bottle.
g.
Remove the funnel from the engine coolant bottle and install the pressure cap.
5.
Dispose of the old coolant that was drained from the vehicle in accordance with state and local environmental laws.
