Cooling System Specifications: Description: Maintenance

Periodic maintenance is necessary for extended cooling system and engine life. Because engine and cooling systems are made of different metals, electrolysis begins to destroy the metals. Changing the coolant at scheduled maintenance periods reduces electrolysis and removes sediment. Replace coolant every 24 months or 30,000 miles.

NOTE: Approximate capacity figures are listed. Capacities may slightly vary.
