Maintenance and Specifications
When the engine is cold, check the

“COLD FILL RANGE” as listed on the engine coolant reservoir
(
depending upon application) .
•
•
Refer to schedu led main ten ance in formation for service interval
schedules.
Be sure to read and understand Pr eca ution s when ser vicin g you r

If the engine coolant has not been checked at the recommended interval,
the engine coolant reservoir may become low or empty. If the reservoir is
low or empty, add engine coolant to the reservoir. Refer to Addin g
en gin e coola nt in this chapter.
Not e: Automotive fluids are not interchangeable; do not use engine
coolant, antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside of its specified
function and vehicle location.
Adding engine coolant
When adding coolant, make sure it is a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant
and distilled water. Add the mixture to the coolant reservoir, whe n the
engin e is cool, until the appropriate fill level is obtained.
Do not add engine coolant when the engine is hot. Steam and
scalding liquids released from a hot cooling system can burn you
badly. Also, you can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts.
Do not put engine coolant in the windshield washer fluid
container. If sprayed on the windshield, engine coolant could
make it difficult to see through the windshield.
