The coolant level should be at or above
the
COLD mark.
If it isn’t, you may have a leak in the
radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator,
water pump or somewhere else in the
cooling system.
Heater and radiator hoses,
L L and other engine parts, can
be very hot. Don’t touch them. If
you do, you can be burned.
Don’t run the engine
if there is a
leak. If you run the engine, it could
lose all coolant. That could cause
an engine fire, and you could be
burned. Get any leak fixed before
you drive the vehicle.
1 NOTlCE CAUTION
If you haven’t found a problem yet, but
the coolant level isn’t at or above
COLD, add a 50/50 mixture of clean
water
(preferably distilled) and a proper
antifreeze at the coolant recovery tank.
(See the
Index under Engine Coolant
for more information about the proper
coolant mix.)
-l
A Adding only plain water to
your cooling system can be
Amgerous. Plain water, or some
~ .ler liquid like alcohol, can boil
before the proper coolant mix will.
Your vehicle’s coolant warning system is set for the proper coolant
mix. With plain 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

3.1L V6 (VIN CODE T or W): There

4. Fill the radiator with the proper mix,
up to the base of the filler neck.
If you see a stream of coolant coming
from an air bleed valve, close the
valve. Otherwise, close the valve(s)
after the radiator is filled.
5. Rinse or wipe any spilled coolant
from the engine and compartment.

When to Change Engine Oil
See if any one of these is true for you:
Most trips are less than 4 miles
(6
lun).
It’s below freezing outside and most
trips are less than 10 miles (16
km).
The engine is at low speed most of the
time (as in door-to-door delivery, or in
stop-and-go traffic).
You tow a trailer often.
Most trips are through dusty places.
If any one of these is true for your
vehicle, then you need to change your
oil and filter every 3,000 miles (5 000 km)
or 3 months-whichever comes first. If
none of them is true, change the oil
every
7,500 miles (12 500 km) or 12
months-whichever comes first.
Change the filter at the first oil change
and at every other oil change after that.
Engine Block Heater
An engine block heater can be a big
help
if you have to park outside in very
cold weather,
0°F (-18°C) or colder. If
your vehicle has this option, see the
Index under Engine Block Heater.
What to Do with Used Oil
CAUTION
Used engine oil contains
things that have caused skin
cancer in laboratory animals. Don’t
let used oil stay on your skin for
very long. Clean your skin and nails
with soap and water, or a good
hand cleaner. Wash or properly
throw away clothing or rags
containing used engine
oil.
Used oil can be a real threat to the
environment. If you change your
own
oil, be sure to drain all free-flowing oil
from the filter before disposal.
Don’t ever dispose
of oil by pouring it
on the ground, into sewers, or into
streams or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle it by taking it to a place that
collects used oil. If you have a problem
properly disposing
of your used oil, ask
your dealer, a service station or a local
recycling center for help.
