require changing sooner, at 30,000 miles (50 000 km)

How to Add Coolant to the Coolant
Surge Tank
If you have not found a problem yet, check to see if
coolant is visible in the surge tank. If coolant is visible
but the coolant level is not at or above the fill mark at the
forward edge of the surge tank, add a 50/50 mixture
of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL
®
coolant at the
coolant surge tank, but be sure the cooling system,
including the coolant surge tank pressure cap, is cool
before you do it. See Engine Coolant on page 5-23
for more information.
