Adding Coolant to the Intercooler System
Fill Neck
If coolant is not visible in the fill neck, add a
50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and
DEX-COOL
®
coolant at the fill neck, but be sure that
the cooling system, including the fill neck pressure cap,
is cool before you do so.
{CAUTION:
Steam and scalding liquids from a hot cooling
system can blow out and burn you badly. They
are under pressure, and if you turn the
intercooler system pressure cap — even a
little — they can come out at high speed. Never
turn the cap when the intercooler system,
including the intercooler system pressure cap,
is hot. Wait for the intercooler system and
intercooler system pressure cap to cool if you
ever have to turn the pressure cap.
{CAUTION:
Adding only plain water to your intercooler
system can be dangerous. Plain water, or
some other liquid such as alcohol, can boil
before the proper coolant mixture will. With
plain water or the wrong mixture, your engine
could get too hot. Your engine could catch fire
and you or others could be burned. Use a
50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and
DEX-COOL
®
coolant.
Notice: In cold weather, water can freeze and
crack the engine, intercooler, and other parts.
Use the recommended coolant and the proper
coolant mixture.
