For these reasons it is advisable to
ascertain the radiator capacity which
must then be added to that given in the
table above under Engine Block before
determining the amount of coolant
concentrate to be added to maintain a
50% concentration.
The capacity of hoses on remote
radiator applications must also be
taken into consideration.
5.6 LUBRICAtInG oIL
Check the lubricating oil daily using the
dipstick, and top up when necessary
with oil of the correct type and
specification (see section
4.2 Oil
Specifi cation
). Table 5.6.3 gives the
capacity between the dipstick marks of
all engines in the LPW range.

Filling the Cooling system
CAUtIon
Under some circumstances an
air lock can occur when filling
the system, causing a false level
indication.
1. Ensure the hoses have been
replaced.
2. Refi ll the system with clean fresh
water and coolant concentrate to a
50% concentration while bleeding air
from the system at a suitable point.
If your engine is fitted with an
aluminium radiator you are advised
to Drain, flush and refill the
cooling system with de-ionized or
distilled water, adding new coolant
concentrate to a 50% concentration.
The radiator should be fi lled to within
13.0-25.0mm (0.5-1.0 in) below the
neck of the radiator fi ller.
3. Run the engine for a short time and
check the coolant level.

Coolant Capacity: Radiator
There are a number of radiator
options available for LPW, LPWX,
LPWT and LPWS engines, including
some which may not have been
originally fitted by Lister Petter.
