oil additives CADILLAC SEVILLE 1997 4.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To provide cleaner air, all gasolines in the United States
are now required
to contain additives that will help
prevent deposits
from forming in your engine and
fuel system, allowing your emission control system to
function properly. Therefore,
you should not have to
add anything to the fuel. In addition, gasolines
containing oxygenates, such as ethers and ethanol, and
reformulated gasolines may be available
in your area to
help clean the air. General Motors recommends that you
use these gasolines
if they comply with the
specifications described earlier.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle was not designed for fuel that
contains methanol. Don’t use
it. It can corrode
metal parts in your
fuel system and also damage
plastic and rubber parts. That damage wouldn’t
be covered under your warranty.
If you plan on driving in another country outside the
United States or Canada, the proper fueI may be hard
to
find. Never use leaded gasoline or any other fuel not
recommended
in the previous text on fuel. Costly repairs
caused by use
of improper fuel wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
To check on fuel availability, ask an auto club. or
contact
a major oil company that does business in the
country where
you‘ll be driving.
You can also write
us at the following address for
advice. Just tell us where you’re going and give your
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Adding only plain water to your cooling system
can be dangerous. Plain water? or some other
liquid like alcohol, can boil before
the proper
coolant mis will. Your vehicle’s coolant warning
system is set
for the proper coolant mix. With
phi11 water or the wrong mix, your engine could
get too hot but you wouldn’t get the overheat
warning. Your engine could catch fire and you or
others could be burned.
Use a 50/50 mix of clean
water and
DEX-COOL@ coolant.
NOTICE:
If you use an improper coolant mix, your engine
could overheat and be badly damaged. The
repair cost wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty. Too much water in the mix can freeze
and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and
other parts.
If you have to add coolant more than four times a year,
have your dealer check your cooling system.
I NOTICE:
If you use the proper cooIant, you don’t have to
add extra inhibitors or additives which claim to
improve the system. These can be harmful.
