GMC 2006 Sierra - Manual (Page 447)

When to Check and What to Use
The clutch master cylinder
reservoir is located in
the rear of the engine
compartment on the
driver’s side of the vehicle.
See Engine Compartment
Overview on page 5-14
for more information on
location.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how
often you should check the fluid level in your clutch
master cylinder reservoir and for the proper fluid.
See Owner Checks and Services on page 6-11 and
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants (Gasoline Engine)
on page 6-14.
How to Check and Add Fluid
The proper fluid should be added if the level does not
reach the bottom of the diaphragm when it is in place in
the reservoir. See the instructions on the reservoir cap.
Engine Coolant
The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with
DEX-COOL
® engine coolant. This coolant is designed
to remain in your vehicle for five years or 150,000 miles
(240 000 km), whichever occurs first, if you add only
DEX-COOL
® extended life coolant.
The following explains your cooling system and how
to add coolant when it is low. If you have a problem
with engine overheating, see Engine Overheating
on page 5-37.
A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and
DEX-COOL
® coolant will:
• Give freezing protection down to
−
34°F (
−
37°C).
• Give boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C).
• Protect against rust and corrosion.
• Help keep the proper engine temperature.
• Let the warning lights and gages work as they
should.
Notice: Using coolant other than DEX-COOL ® may
cause premature engine, heater core, or radiator
corrosion. In addition, the engine coolant may
require changing sooner, at the first maintenance
service after each 25,000 miles (41 500 km) or
24 months, whichever occurs first. Any repairs
would not be covered by your warranty. Always use
DEX-COOL
® (silicate-free) coolant in your vehicle.
