Antifreeze could run into the oil pan of a 1998 Chevy Tracker due to a blown head gasket, which allows coolant to leak into the engine's oil passages. Another possibility is a cracked engine block or a failed intake manifold gasket. Both situations can lead to mixing of coolant and oil, resulting in contamination and potential engine damage. It's crucial to address this issue promptly to avoid severe engine problems.
No !
Nope. Body style changed significantly in 1998 when Chevy replaced Geo on the Tracker nameplate. Sorry!
No! Thermostat.
A mix of 50% clean water and 50% straight antifreeze is good for most areas. If you live where the temp goes below -30 degrees F, a mix of 25% clean water and 75% straight antifreeze would be better.
You could have a cracked engine block.
Head gasket or cracked head. Mo
just regular antifreeze i would just mix it 50/50 with water or u can purchase it already mixed.
My 2003 Chevy Tracker would not restart when it was hot and finally would stall & not restart until it sat and cooled off for 10 minutes. It would crank but not start. We replaced the camshaft it solved the problem. It was located at the back of the engine, at the top and is held by just one screw.
The system was overfilled and purged the excess coolant.
A Chevy Cavalier can use standard, all-purpose antifreeze, so it's unlikely that the wrong kind was put in. However, if it is not diluted properly and the antifreeze is mixed with more than 50 percent water, the engine can overheat under some circumstances.
Putting 100% "straight" antifreeze in your car's radiator will expose the cooling system to freezing at a much higher temperature than would the appropriate and recommended mix of roughly 50/50 antifreeze and water. Antifreeze works best WITH water.
The engines in Chevy Trackers are Suzuki engines, I would recommend NGK plugs.
