Fluids
Fuel
Always use the following recommended fuels:
Petrol engines
Use unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of
95 RON to ENN 228 specification.
In an emergency (and only if the correct fuel is
unavailable), lower octane rated fuel can be used for
very limited periods of moderate, low speed
motoring, provided engine 'knocking' does not occur.
Fuels of 90 RON is used in certain markets; 90 RON
fuel can be used regularly ONLY if the engine has
been tuned specifically to suit low octane fuel.
Certain markets use fuel containing a 23% Ethanol
additive.
K1.8 and KV6 engines are also available for use with
a low octane leaded fuel specification in some
markets.
Diesel engines
Use a good quality diesel fuel or automotive gas oil
(AGO) conforming to EN 590 specification.
It is important that the sulphur content of diesel fuel
does not exceed 0.3%.
Ensure the fuel filter element is changed at the
recommended intervals.

Filter - Diesel.
Brake Fluid
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid. DO NOT use brake fluid
of a different specification.
PAS fluid
Use Texaco 9226 fluid.Anti-freeze solutions
The overall anti-freeze concentration should not fall,
by volume, below 50% to ensure that the anti-
corrosion properties of the coolant are maintained.
Anti-freeze concentrations greater than 60% are not
recommended as cooling efficiency will be impaired.
Use Havoline Extended Life Coolant (XLC), or any
ethylene glycol based anti-freeze (containing no
methanol) with only Organic Acid Technology (OAT)
corrosion inhibitors, to protect the cooling system.
CAUTION: No other anti-freeze should be used
with Havoline Extended Life Coolant.
The cooling system should be drained, flushed and
refilled with the correct amount of anti-freeze
solution at the intervals given on the Service
Maintenance Check Sheet.
After filling with anti-freeze solution, attach a warning
label to a prominent position on the vehicle stating
the type of anti-freeze contained in the cooling
system to ensure that the correct type is used for
topping-up.
The following recommended quantities of anti-freeze
will provide frost protection to -36 °C (-33 °F):
Engine – Td4
Engine – K1.8
Engine – KV6
