With, or without a Jaws Of Life tool?
whaT KIND OF COOLANT DO I PUT IN MY 2001 PONTIAC SUNFIRE Generally, the GM model vehicles, or is this case, the sunfire, use a specific kind of coolant called DEX-cool extended life engine coolant. It is orange-ish in color and most of the time GM specific. i have a 01 sunfire, 2.2 liter myself, and on my car frame, i have a sticker that says "Use only DEX-cool engine coolant....". Hope this helps!
The average life is between 125,000 to 175,000 miles. There's a lot of stories of people taking good care of it and getting 250,000 to 300,000 miles out of it, just as a guideline.
