nections for corrosion and leaks. Tighten connections and replace parts

technology (i.e., a combination of low phosphates and organic acids). If
another type of ethylene-glycol coolant is used, replacement intervals
may be different.

intervals. For recommended oil grade and viscosity, refer to the
