The recommended coolant for a 2000 Chevy Silverado is Prestone 1 Gallon Orange Concentrate Coolant/Antifreeze. To change the coolant, start by locating the radiator under the hood. Look for a clear or black plastic container connected to the radiator, which is the coolant reservoir. It has a drain plug, a fill plug, and a dipstick. Check the coolant level and add more if needed. For a complete flush, open the drain plug and let the old coolant flow out into a bucket. You can use water to assist with flushing. Once the water runs clear, close the drain plug, refill the reservoir to the recommended level, and securely close the cap.
General Motors suggests using dex-cool coolant for the 2000 Chevy Silverado. This type of coolant is orange in color and is designed to last for up to 100,000 miles.
