engine coolant CHEVROLET S10 1995 2.G Owner's Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To Check Coolant
When your engine is cold, the coolant level should be at ADD, or a little
higher. When
your engine is warm, the level should be up to FULL HOT, or
a little higher.
To Add Coolant
If you need more coolant, add the proper mix at the coolant recovery tank.
Add coolant mix at the recovery tank, but be careful not to spill it.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 coolant reaches
a preset temperature.
When
you replace your thermostat, an AC@ thermostat is recommended.
