Oil Cooler Flushing: Notes
2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LSSECTION Notes
CAUTION:
The Flushing Fluid (J-35944-22) is environmentally safe, yet powerful enough to cut through transmission fluid to dislodge any contaminants from the cooler. The safety precautions on the label regarding potential skin and eye irritations associated with prolonged exposure are typical precautions that apply to many similar cleaning solutions. It should be noted that according to General Motors, use of other non-approved fluids for cooler flushing can have an adverse reaction to the seals inside the transaxle.
