General Motors supports the use of recycled engine coolant for warranty repairs/service, providing a GM approved engine coolant recycling system is used. For detailed information on GM approved engine coolant recycling equipment guidelines refer to the following bulletins: Cadillac 93-1-18, GMC Truck 93-6B-34, Chevrolet 93-73-6B, Pontiac 93-6-18, Oldsmobile 1-93-43, Buick 93-6B-1 (Corporate Number 236203).
Recycled coolant will be reimbursed at the GMSPO dealer price for new coolant plus the appropriate mark-up. When coolant replacement is required during a warranty repair, it is crucial to assure that only the relative amount of engine coolant concentrate be charged, not the total diluted volume. In other words, if you are using two gallons of pre-diluted (50:50) recycled engine coolant to service a vehicle, you may request reimbursement for one gallon of Goodwrench engine coolant concentrate at the dealer price plus the appropriate warranty parts handling allowance.
