The 2006 Chevy Impala requires dex-cool extended life 50/50 antifreeze. Failure to use this type of antifreeze may result in various engine issues, such as excessive oil consumption leading to premature oil changes. One severe issue to watch out for is engine overheating, which can escalate to fires and even explosions. It is important to promptly address loose gaskets and secure them properly. Additionally, keep an eye out for spark plug issues like popping off, as they can cause engine malfunctions. Address oil leaks promptly to prevent further damage. Remember to replace the coolant every 60,000 miles, spark plugs every 100,000 miles unless using copper spark plugs, which should be replaced every 30,000 miles. Lastly, change the air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles to maintain optimal engine performance.
