Anti-Freeze/Corrosion Inhibitor
It is most important that the correct coolant specification is
used in order to inhibit boiling and to protect the engine and
heat exchangers from both frost damage, and metal corrosion.
The Evora is factory filled with a 50% concentration of Havoline
XLC Extended Life Coolant, which contains Organic Acid Tech
nology (OAT) based corrosion inhibitors to provide good cooling
performance and long coolant change intervals, combined with
freedom from environmentally damaging phosphates, silicates
and nitrites.
NOTICE
coolant, or degradation of the cooling system may result.
Havoline XLC may be identified by its orange colouration, and
by a label around the header tank filler neck. A 50% concentra-
tion provides freezing protection down to -40°F (-40°C), and
is recommended to be maintained throughout the life of the
car. Stronger concentrations will have a detrimental affect and
should not be used.
In an emergency, if an OAT coolant is not available, the cooling
system should be topped up using water only, but the reduction in
freezing protection should be recognised, and the concentration
corrected promptly. In areas where the tap water is extremely
hard (exceeding 250 parts per million), distilled, de-ionised or
filtered rain water should be used for the water content of the
coolant mix.
The effective level of ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) in the system
may be measured using a hydrometer, but in order to ensure
that the required level of corrosion protection is maintained, the
coolant should be renewed every 4 years.
For coolant capacity, refer to 'Recommended Lubricants' and
'Technical Data'.

pensive damage to the engine and/or other components caused
by overheating, freezing or corrosion effects. Such damage is
not covered by the New Vehicle Warranty.
