How
to
Add
Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to
determine what kind of transaxle fluid to
use. See “Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants” in the Index.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough
of the proper fluid to bring the level into
the cross-hatched area on the dipstick.
1.
Pull out the dipstick.
2.
Using a long-neck funnel, add enough
fluid at the dipstick hole to bring it to
the proper 1evel.It doesn’t take much
fluid, generally less than a pint (OSL).
Don’t
overfill.
We recommend
ou
use only fluid labeled DEXRON
&
-111
or DEXRON@-IIE, because fluids
with
that label are made especially for
your automatic transaxle. Damage
caused by fluid other than
DEXRON@-111
or
DEXRON@-IIE
is
not covered by your new vehicle
warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid
level as described under “How to
Check.”
When the correct fluid level is
obtained, push the dipstick back in all
the way.
Engine
Coolant
The following explains your cooling
system and how to add coolant when it is
low. If you have a problem with engine
overheating or if
you
need to add coolant
to
your radiator, see. “Engine
Overheating” in the Index.
The proper coolant for your Chevrolet
will:
Give freezing protection down to
-40°F (-37°C).
0
Give boiling protection up to 262°F
(128°C).
0
Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine
temperature.

Let the warning lights work
as
they
should.
What
to
Use
Use a mixture of one-half clean water
(preferably distilled) and one-half
antifreeze that meets “GM Specification
1825-M,” which won’t damage aluminum
parts.
You
can also use a recycled coolant
conforming to GM Specification 1825-M
with a complete coolant flush and refill. If
you use this mixture, you don’t need to
add anything else.
