Cooling system, draining and filling
 
     
Note:  
     
The cooling system is filled year round with a 
mixture of water and anti-freeze and anti-
corrosion agent G 011 A8C. 
     G 011 A8C and coolant additives marked with 
"conforming to TLVW 774 C" prevents freezing, 
corrosion damage and scale formation, and 
raises the coolant boiling point. For these 
reasons the cooling system must always be 
filled year-round with G 011 A8C anti-freeze 
and anti-corrosion agent. 
     Due to its high boiling point, coolant is an aid to 
operational efficiency when the engine is 
operating at full load, particularly in tropical 
climates. 
     Coolant must be drained and replaced if either 
the radiator, heater core, cylinder head or 
cylinder head gasket have been replaced. 
     Capacity: approx. 8.5 liters (9 qt.)
