The green and the orange engine coolant MUST
NOT BE MIXED. When replacing coolant the com-
plete system flush must be performed before using

the following organization should be used to service a
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicle.
• Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
• American Petroleum Institute (API) (Fig. 1)
• National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI)
(Fig. 2)
