ENGINE COOLANT CHECK

The concentration and level of engine
coolant should be checked at the mileage
intervals listed in the scheduled
maintenance information.
Note: Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and MAX marks on the engine and
coolant reservoirs.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may extend beyond the MAX mark. If
the level is at the MIN mark, add coolant
immediately.
The coolant concentration should be
maintained within 48% to 50%, which
equates to a freeze point between -30°F
(-34°C) and -34°F (-37°C).
Note: For best results, coolant
concentration should be tested with a
refractometer such as Rotunda tool
300-ROB75240 available from your dealer.
We do not recommend the use of
hydrometers or coolant test strips for
measuring coolant concentrations.
