Consistency of Readings

Always check the fluid level at least twice using the procedures described. Consistency (repeatable readings) is important to maintaining proper fluid level. If fluid is added, it may take 15 minutes

or longer to obtain an accurate reading because of residual fluid draining down the dipstick tube.

If inconsistent readings persist, check the transmission breather to be sure it is clean and not clogged. If readings are still inconsistent, contact your dealer.

Engine Coolant

The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with DEX-COOL®engine coolant. This coolant is designed to remain in your vehicle for five years or 150,000 miles (240 000 km), whichever occurs first, if you add only DEX-COOL®extended

life coolant.

The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when it is low. If you have a problem with engine overheating, see Engine Overheating on page 422.

A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL®coolant will:

•Give freezing protection down to −34°F (−37°C).

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

•Protect against rust and corrosion.

•Help keep the proper engine temperature.

•Let the warning lights and gages work as they should.

Notice: Using coolant other than DEX-COOL®may cause premature engine, heater core,

or radiator corrosion. In addition, the engine coolant may require changing sooner, at the first maintenance service after each 30,000 miles (50 000 km) or 24 months, whichever occurs first. Any repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Always use DEX-COOL®(silicate-free) coolant in your vehicle.
