< Note >
Be sure to use the long life coolant (LLC) for the aluminium radiator only. The coolant
should be mixed good quality softened tap water with anti-freezing and anti-rust liquid.
At ex-factory, the LLC mix ratio is 30% liquid and 70% water is installed.
(Isuzu Genuine LLC: Besco LLC Super-Type E)
Be sure to use the same LLC into sub tank.
The mix ration should be changed to ambient temperature but between 30 and 50%.
When replenishing LLC, be sure to use the same brand as the LLC left in the radiator and
sub tank.
Never use the mixed LLC by different brands.
Be sure to change wholly in less than 2 years or 1000 hours.
