IMPORTANT: NEVER overfill the system. A
14
pressurized system needs space for
heat expansion without overflowing at
the top of the radiator. Coolant level
should be at bottom of radiator filler
neck.
Air must be expelled from cooling
system when system is refilled. Loosen
plug in side of thermostat housing to
allow air to escape when filling system.
Retighten plug when all the air has
been expelled.
After adding new coolant solution, run engine until it
reaches operating temperature. This mixes the coolant
solution uniformly and circulates it through the entire
system. After running engine, check coolant level and
entire cooling system for leaks.
Contact your engine servicing dealer, if there are further
questions.

DISPOSING OF COOLANT
Improperly disposing of engine coolant can threaten the
environment and ecology.
Use leakproof containers when draining fluids. Do not use
food or beverage containers that may mislead someone
into drinking from them.
Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into
any water source.
Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste
from your local environmental or recycling center, or from
your engine servicing dealer.
