F0U0286mfig. 208
ENGINE COOLANT fig. 208
The coolant level should be checked when the engine is
cold and should be between the MIN and MAX lines on
the reservoir.
If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture of 50% distilled
water and 50% PARAFLU
UP(made by PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS) through the filler neck A until the level ap-
proaches MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand distilled water gives
freeze protection up to –35°C.
When the vehicle is used in particularly harsh weather con-
ditions, we recommend using a 60-40 mixture of
PARAFLU
UPand distilled water.
