Engine coolant
(Pre-99MY)Use an ethylene glycol based anti-freeze (containing no methanol) with non-phosphate
corrosion inhibitors suitable for use in aluminium engines to ensure the protection of the
cooling system against frost and corrosion in all seasons. Use one part anti-freeze to
one part water for protection down to -36°C (-33°F).
IMPORTANT: Coolant solution must not fall below proportions one part
anti-freeze to three parts water, i.e. minimum 25% anti-freeze in coolant otherwise
damage to engine is liable to occur. Maximum concentration is 60%.
Engine coolant
(99MY on)Use Texaco XLC long life coolant. Use one part anti-freeze to one part water for
protection down to -36°C (-33°F).
IMPORTANT: Coolant solution must not fall below 50% anti-freeze otherwise
damage to the engine is liable to occur. Maximum concentration is 60%.

LUBRICATION PRACTICE
Use a high quality oil of the correct viscosity range and service classification in the engine during maintenance and
when topping up. The use of oil not to the correct specification can lead to high oil and fuel consumption and
ultimately to damaged components.
Oil to the correct specification contains additives which disperse the corrosive acids formed by combustion and
prevent the formation of sludge which can block the oilways. Additional oil additives should not be used. Always
adhere to the recommended servicing intervals.
WARNING: Many liquids and other substances used in motor vehicles are poisonous. They must
not be consumed and must be kept away from open wounds. These substances, among others,
include anti-freeze, windscreen washer additives, lubricants and various adhesives.

ANTI-FREEZE
PERCENTAGE CONCENTRATION - 50%
PROTECTION - LOWER TEMPERATURE LIMIT
Complete protection
Vehicle may be driven away immediately from cold,
-33°C (-36°F).
Safe limit protection
Coolant in semi-frozen state. Engine may be started
and driven away after warm-up period, -41°C (-42°
F).Lower protection
Prevents frost damage to cylinder head, block and
radiator. Thaw out before starting engine, -47°C (-53°
F).
CAUTION: Anti-freeze content must never
be allowed to fall below 25% (pre 99MY) or
50% (99MY on) otherwise damage to the
engine is liable to occur. Anti-freeze content
should not exceed 60% (all models) as this will
greatly reduce cooling efficiency.
