sirk Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 does the intercooler require anything special for sub 0 weather like mixing the water with antifreeze? is this easy to do? i live in northern alberta where i wont see above 0 for another 2 months. thanks for the replies. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdivr Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 You should have some Dex-Cool mixed in there. JUst check it with a regular tester, and make sure it's good to -30. I've never really checked mine, but it's a light red in color, and I haven't had any problems in winter in Pittsburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtie70SS Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Yep as long as the antifreeze tests good you should be ok. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirk Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 what is dex cool and where do i get it? what % is the mixture if it is even mixed with water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdivr Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 (edited) Dex-Cool is the GM coolant. Should be mixed 50/50 with water. You can buy premixed 50/50 Dex Cool at WalMart, or just about any parts place. Edited January 16, 2007 by wkdivr (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eamonnschevy Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 (edited) what is dex cool and where do i get it? what % is the mixture if it is even mixed with water? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> DexCool is the GM Approved antifreeze... some people swear by it others hate it. i used it n my old 2000 chevy without any problems and my new SS has it but i know it MUST NOT BE MIXED WITH OTHER COLOR ANTIFREEZES. DexCool and has already been said 50/50 with water i used distilled water when i replaced it on my 2000, oh and its good for 100,000 miles or 5 years so they claim...
