14.50 QTS. (13.72 L) — 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and clean, drinkable water Note: All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
Engine Oil (2.8L Eng)
6.00 QTS. (5.67 L) — API - SAE 5W-30 Note: Engine oil meeting the dexos 2 specification of proper SAE viscosity grade. Engine oil meeting the dexos2 specification of the proper SAE viscosity grade.
Power Steering Fluid (2.8L Eng)
2.50 PTS. (1.18 L)
Engine Coolant (4.3L Eng)
10.70 QTS. (10.12 L) — 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and clean, drinkable water Note: All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
Engine Oil (4.3L Eng)
5.50 QTS. (5.2 L) — API - SAE 5W-30 Note: DEXOS1 Gen2 Full synthetic engine oil. Cold Temperature Operation: In an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -29Deg. C (-20Deg. F), an SAE 0W-30 oil should be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures. When selecting an oil of the appropriate viscosity grade, be sure to always select an oil that meets the required specification, dexos.
Power Steering Fluid (4.3L Eng)
2.32 PTS. (1.09 L)
Automatic Transmission Fluid (6 Spd Trans)
6.00 QTS. (5.67 L) — Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: Approximate capacity.
Engine Coolant (6.6L Eng)
11.60 QTS. (10.97 L) — 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and clean, drinkable water Note: All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
Engine Oil (6.6L Eng)
8.00 QTS. (7.57 L) — API - SAE 5W-30 Note: DEXOS1 Gen2 Full synthetic engine oil. Cold Temperature Operation: In an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -29Deg. C (-20Deg. F), an SAE 0W-30 oil should be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures. When selecting an oil of the appropriate viscosity grade, be sure to always select an oil that meets the required specification, dexos.
