engine coolant CHEVROLET BLAZER 1995 2.G Owner's Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Radiator Pressure Cap
NOTICE:
Your radiator cap is a 15 psi (105 kPa) pressure-type cap and
must be tightly installed to prevent coolant loss and possible \
engine damage from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap \
line up with the overflow tube on the radiator filler neck.
When you replace your radiator pressure
cap, a
GM cap is
recommended. See
“Service Replacement
Part and Filter
Recommendations” in
the Index.
Thermostat
Engine coolant temperature is controlled by a thermostat in the engine
coolant system. The thermostat stops the
flow of coolant through the
radiator until the co6lant reaches a preset temperature.
When you replace your thermostat, an
AC@ thermostat is recommended.
