Product Details and Specifications

The Dorman 603-383 engine coolant reservoir is engineered to meet the exact specifications required by Buick Cascada and Chevrolet Cruze, Cruze Limited, and Verano vehicles. Its clear plastic construction allows for quick visual checks of coolant levels without removal.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Dorman 603-383 coolant reservoir, ensure the vehicle is cool to avoid injury from hot coolant. The reservoir mounts using two existing mounting holes; no additional brackets or hardware are included. Carefully remove the old reservoir and cap, then install the new reservoir in the same orientation. Secure the spring loaded twist cap firmly to maintain system pressure. After installation, check coolant levels and top off as necessary, then run the engine to verify there are no leaks.
