check oil for water and radiator for oil, if engine oil has water miced with it ,the oil will be milky looking same does for radiator
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.
To add engine coolant to a 1999 Oldsmobile 88, first ensure the engine is cool and locate the coolant reservoir, typically marked with a cap labeled "coolant." Open the cap and check the coolant level; if it's low, add a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water until it reaches the appropriate level. Replace the cap securely, and check for any leaks or signs of coolant loss. Always consult the owner’s manual for specific recommendations regarding coolant type and capacity.
GM Dex-Cool, it is the orange colored kind.
Yes, it is recommended to use Dex-Cool coolant in an Oldsmobile Silhouette, as this type of coolant is designed for use in GM vehicles and helps prevent corrosion and buildup in the engine. Using a different type of coolant may lead to compatibility issues and potential engine damage. Always check the owner’s manual for specific recommendations regarding coolant type and maintenance.
Purchase a "pig tail" from the dealer and splice it in.
To burp the cooling system on a 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora, first ensure the engine is cool, then remove the radiator cap. Start the engine and let it idle while allowing the coolant to circulate. As the engine warms up, check for air bubbles; you may need to add coolant to the reservoir as it drops. Once the air bubbles stop and the coolant level is stable, replace the radiator cap securely.
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.
To bleed the coolant system on a 2002 Oldsmobile Alero, start by ensuring the engine is cool and the coolant reservoir is filled to the appropriate level. Locate the bleed valve on the engine or heater core, if applicable; otherwise, you can use the radiator cap. Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature, then carefully open the bleed valve (if present) or the radiator cap to release trapped air. Once you see a steady stream of coolant without bubbles, close the valve or cap, and check the coolant level again, adding more if necessary.
check water in plastic water box right side of engine compartment. that's where sensor is
