Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a
50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should
be compatible with aluminum engine parts.
Additional corrosion inhibitors or additives should
not be used. The cooling system must be main-
tained with the correct concentration and type
of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corro-
sion. Never allow the concentration of anti-
freeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the
35% level, or damage to the cooling system
may result. For proper concentration when add-
ing or replacing the engine coolant, refer to the
following table.
