“COLD FILL RANGE” as listed on the engine coolant reservoir
(depending upon application).

schedules.
•Be sure to read and understandPrecautions when servicing your

If the engine coolant has not been checked at the recommended interval,
the engine coolant reservoir may become low or empty. If the reservoir is
low or empty, add engine coolant to the reservoir. Refer toAdding

Note:Automotive fluids are not interchangeable; do not use engine
coolant, antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside of its specified

Adding engine coolant
When adding coolant, make sure it is a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant
and distilled water. Add the mixture to the coolant reservoir,when the
engine is cool,until the appropriate fill level is obtained.

released from a hot cooling system can burn you badly. Also, you can
be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts.

fluid container. If sprayed on the windshield, engine coolant
could make it difficult to see through the windshield.
