A 2000 Oldsmobile Alero with a 2.2 engine will hold approximately 13 liters of coolant. Adding coolant to your vehicle is very important.
to cool the coolant in the engine
The coolant level switch on a 95 Achieva has a sticking problem. If you tap the coolant tank near the sensor the light will go out
Fix the leak, and fill the coolant.
GM Dex-Cool, it is the orange colored kind.
in the engine compartment next to the coolant reservoir along with it's 60amp fuse
Purchase a "pig tail" from the dealer and splice it in.
Check the coolant level in the overflow bottle. It is a clear(ish) plastic bottle with a flat, black cap on it. There should be a hose going into it that starts at just below the radiator cap. There should be two lines on the bottle, one marking the full level when the coolant is hot, and a lower one that marks the full level when the coolant is cold.Check the level with the engine off.If you need to add coolant, pour fresh coolant into the overflow bottle, NOT the radiator itself. You should use a 50/50 mix of Dex-Cool extended life coolant and clean water. Using the green, ethylene glycol coolant can cause damage to your cooling system.After you add, drive around for awhile until the engine has reached operating temperature, then shut the engine off and check the level again. Top off if needed.
check water in plastic water box right side of engine compartment. that's where sensor is
its been awhile all i know it runs the same as a Oldsmobile same motor it run conter clock wise
My 1997 is located on the drivers side engine block towards the back above spark plugs it threads into engine and has 2 wires coming out
The ETC sensor on the 2002 Olds 3.5 engine is located at the right rear of engine, below the throttle body at the head not the block.
