Engine Coolant
Selection of Coolant
To maintain optimum performance and
durability of your engine, use Maruti Genu-
ine Coolant or equivalent.
This type of coolant is best for your cooling
system as it:
• Helps maintain proper engine tempera-
ture.
• Gives proper protection against freezing
and boiling.
• Gives proper protection against corro-
sion and rust.
Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. Your authorised
Maruti Suzuki workshop can help you
select the proper coolant.
Coolant Level Check
Check the coolant level at the reservoir
tank, not at the radiator. With the engine
cool, the coolant level should be between
the “FULL” and “LOW” marks.
NOTICE
• When replacing the oil filter, it is rec-
ommended that you use a Maruti
genuine replacement filter. If you
use an aftermarket filter, make sure
it is of equivalent quality and follow
the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Oil leaks from around the oil filter or
drain plug indicate incorrect instal-
lation or gasket damage. If you find
any leaks or are not sure that the fil-
ter has been properly tightened,
have the vehicle inspected by your
authorised Maruti Suzuki work-
shop.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling sys-
tem:
• Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base non-silicate type cool
ant diluted with distilled water at
the correct mixture concentration.
• Make sure that the proper mix is 50/
50 coolant to distilled water (Die-
sel) and 30/70 (Petrol). Concentra-
tions greater than this may cause
overheating conditions.
• Neither use 100% coolant nor 100%
Plain water.
• Do not add extra inhibitors or addi-
tives. They may not be compatible
with your cooling system.
• Do not mix different types of base
coolants. Doing so may result in
accelerated seal wear and/or the
possibility of severe overheating
and extensive engine/automatic
transaxle damage.
