WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Cadillac Seville and 2003 Cadillac DeVille. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
DO NOT add cold water to the cooling system with the engine at or above operating temperature. Adding cold water causes rapid cooling, resulting in possible engine damage. When adding coolant, it is important that you use GM Goodwrench Dex-Cool® or Havoline® Dex-Cool® coolant. If coolant other than Dex-Cool® or Havoline® Dex-Cool® is added to the system, the engine coolant will require change sooner; at 30,000 miles or 24 months.
