For the 2002 Chevrolet S-10, it's recommended to use dex-cool 50/50 premixed coolant. The truck's coolant capacity is 11.6 quarts initially. Coolant helps shield vehicles from extreme temperatures, either hot or cold, by absorbing heat from the engine and transferring it to the radiator. The price of coolant ranges from $10 to $17 per gallon, depending on the brand and store. The cost for a coolant change typically ranges from $60 to $70 in labor. It's advisable to change the coolant every 30,000 miles. Signs that the coolant needs changing include engine overheating, a sweet smell inside the vehicle, or lack of heat from the heater.
