be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Ad-
ditional corrosion inhibitors or additives should
notbe used. The cooling system mustbe main-

ized or distilled water in small quantities
until the fluid level stays up in the radiator
neck.

plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the cool-
ant should be between the "LOW and "HIGH"
lines on the reservoir when the engine is cool.
If the level is below the "LOW mark, add
engine coolant to bring it up between "LOW"
and "HIGH'. If the level is low, inspect for
