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
high fill reservoir, see “Engine Overheating” in the
Index.
The proper coolant for your Corvette will:
Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C).
Give boiling protection up to 262
“F
(128
”
C).
Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
Let the warning lights work as they should.
Use a mixture of one-half
clean
water
(preferably
distilled) and one-half antifreeze that meets
“GM
Specification 1825M,” which won’t damage aluminum
parts.
You
can also use a recycled coolant conforming to
GM
Specification 1825M with a complete coolant flush
and refill. Use GM Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer)
with any complete coolant flush and refill. If
you
use
this
mixture, you don’t need to add anything else.
