Coolant: Description and Operation

NOTICE:  Antifreeze can be added to raise the boiling point of the coolant, but too much will affect the freezing point. Do not use a solution stronger
than 70 percent antifreeze, as the freeze level rises rapidly after this point. Pure antifreeze will freeze at -22°C (-8°F).

This vehicle as a newly developed engine coolant.  GM Goodwrench DEX-COOL (R) was developed in order to last for 240,000 km (150,00 miles)
or 5 years, whichever occurs first. Follow the instructions in Draining and Filling Cooling System. Use only GM Goodwrench DEX-COOL (R) or
HAVOLINE (R) DEX-COOL (R) when adding or changing the coolant.
A 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol DEX-COOL (R) and water will provide the following protection:
^

Give freezing protection down to -37°C (-34°F) 

^

Give boiling protection up to 129°C (265°F)

^

Protect against rust and corrosion

^

Help keep the proper engine temperature

^

Let the warning lights and gauges work as they should.
