Coolant

Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank when
the engine is cold. The coolant level is satisfactory if
it is between the FULL and LOW level on the tank.
The coolant level will vary with engine temperature.
However, if the level is on or below the LOW level,
add tap water (soft water) until the "FULL" level is
reached. Change the coolant every two years. (See
"COOLING SYSTEM" for more detail.)
