On no account should oil be poured down drains or into the earth. Because
of the disposal problems, the necessary special tools and specialist
knowledge required the engine oil and filter changing should preferably be
done by a Technical Service Center.

No additives should be mixed with the engine oil.

Coolant specifications
The cooling system is filled at the factory with a permanent coolant
which is not changed. The coolant consists of water and a 40%
concentration of our coolant additive G G 1 1 2 2 + + (glycol-based anti-
freeze with anti-corrosion additives). This mixture not only gives
the necessary frost protection down to –25 °C but also protects the
alloy parts in the cooling system against corrosion. In addition it
prevents scaling and significantly raises the boiling point of the
coolant.
The concentration of the coolant therefore must not be reduced in
the summer or in warm countries, by topping up with plain water.

If greater protection against frost is required, the proportion of
G G 1 1 2 2 + + additive can be increased, but o o n n l l y y u u p p t t o o 6 6 0 0 % % (frost
protection to approx. –40 °C), otherwise the anti-freeze protection
is reduced and furthermore the cooling effect is impaired.
Vehicles for export to cold countries (e.g. Sweden, Norway, Finland)
usually have frost protection down to –35 °C (50% G G 1 1 2 2 + + )
approximately.
