{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.
{CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol,
and it will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Do not spill coolant on a hot engine.
1. You can remove the fill neck pressure cap when
the intercooler system, including the upper
intercooler hose, is no longer hot. Turn the pressure
cap slowly counterclockwise about one-quarter of
a turn. If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. This
will allow any remaining pressure to be vented.
2. Then keep turning the pressure cap slowly, and
remove it.
3. Add the proper DEX-COOL
®
coolant mixture to the
fill neck, until there is coolant visible in the horizontal
tube section of the fill neck.
4. With the fill neck pressure cap off, start the engine
and let it run for at least 30 seconds. Watch out
for the engine cooling fan. Turn the engine off.
By this time, the coolant level inside the fill neck
may be lower. If the level drops so that coolant is no
longer visible in the horizontal tube section of the
fill neck, add more of the DEX-COOL
®
coolant mixture to the fill neck until the level is
again visible in the horizontal tube section.
5. Replace the intercooler system pressure cap.
Be sure the pressure cap is hand-tight and fully
seated.
If the coolant is not at the proper level when the
system cools down again, see your dealer.
