CAUTION
Do not use methanol-based or methoxypro-
panol-based antifreeze products since these
can severely damage the engine. If a different
additive has been used and the FUSO DIESEL
LONGLIFE COOLANT is to be used, be sure to
thoroughly flush the cooling system.
Use the following table to determine the correct
concentration of FUSO DIESEL LONGLIFE COOL-
ANT according to the lowest temperature at which
your vehicle is to be operated.
FUSO DIESEL LONGLIFE COOLANT concentra-
tion (in volume percentage)
See the instructions on adding coolant.

NOTE:
Vehicles are shipped with a 50% concentration of
FUSO DIESEL LONGLIFE COOLANT and can
therefore be used at temperatures down to –30
°
C
(–22
°
F).
CAUTION
Use FUSO DIESEL LONGLIFE COOLANT at a
concentration of between 50% and 60%. The
proper concentration under normal tempera-
tures is 50%. At a concentration below 30%, this
additive performs poorly as an anticorrosive,
while at a concentration exceeding 60%, it per-
forms poorly as an antifreeze.
