CAUTION: THE COOLING SYSTEM

OPERATES UNDER PRESSURE WHICH IS

CONTROLLED BY THE RADIATOR CAP. IT IS

DANGEROUS TO REMOVE THE CAP WHILE

THE SYSTEM IS HOT. ALWAYS TURN THE

CAP SLOWLY TO THE FIRST STOP AND

ALLOW THE PRESSURE TO ESCAPE

BEFORE REMOVING THE CAP ENTIRELY.

WEAR GLOVES WHEN REMOVING THE CAP.

The coolant added to the engine must meet specific requirements. Use a low silicate antifreeze which meets Engineering Standard GM 6038-M, or which contains no more than 0.1% anhydrous alkali metasilicate and meets either Engineering Standard GM 1825-M or GM 1899-M, which are performance specifications.

NOTE: Factory fill is a fully formulated coolant mixture (pink in colour). Propylene and ethylene glycol can be mixed in the cooling system.

Use soft water in the coolant mixture. Contaminants in hard water neutralize the corrosion inhibitor components. Water must not exceed 300 ppm hardness, or contain more than 100 ppm of either chloride or sulfate.
