Checking And Changing The Engine Coolant - Hyundai Coupe Tiburon 2007 Owner's Manual

o The engine oil consumption is
strongly effected by the viscosity
and quality of oil, engine rpm and
driving condition etc. More engine
oil may be consumed under severe
driving conditions such as high
speeds, frequent acceleration and
deceleration, compared to normal
driving condition.
CHECKING AND CHANGING

!
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot. When the engine
is hot, the engine coolant is under
pressure and may erupt through the
opening if the cap is removed. You
could be seriously burned if you do
not observe this precaution. Do not
remove the radiator cap until the
radiator is cool to the touch.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the engine
coolant should be changed by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.

Recommended Engine Coolant
Use a high quality ethylene-glycol
coolant in a 50/50 mix with water. The
engine coolant should be compatible
with aluminum engine parts. Addi-
tional corrosion inhibitors or additives
should not be used. The cooling sys-
tem must be maintained with the cor-
rect concentration and type of engine
coolant to prevent freezing and corro-
sion. Never allow the concentration of
antifreeze to exceed the 60% level or
go below the 35% level, or damage to
the cooling system may result. For
proper concentration when adding or
replacing the engine coolant, refer to
the following table.
