Fluids

Fuel
Always use the following recommended fluids:
Petrol engines
Use unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of 93
Capacity RON to GB17930 specification.RON Do not use petrol that
contains Methanol.
Antifreeze Solutions
62 L
Use a 50% mix of water and OAT. Antifreeze and Summer
63 L
Coolant or any ethylene glycol based antifreeze (containing no
methanol) with Organic Acid Technology (OAT) corrosion
inhibitors to protect the cooling system.
4.9 L
containingOAT corrosion inhibitors should be used.
Do not top-up or refill cooling system with any other type of
2.0 L
antifreeze. In an emergency, if this type of antifreeze is not
available, top-up the cooling system with clean water only but
2.2 L
be aware of the resultant reduction in frost protection. The
correct antifreeze concentration must be restored as soon as
7.9 L
possible.
7.8 L
The cooling system should be drained, flushed and refilled with
0.8 L
the correct amount of antifreeze solution at the intervals given
on the Service Maintenance Check Sheet.
0.75 L
After filling with antifreeze solution, attach a warning label to a
prominent position on the vehicle stating the type of antifreeze
3.8 L
contained in the cooling system to ensure that the correct type
is used for topping-up.
Antifreeze Concentration
The overall antifreeze concentration should not fall, by volume,
below 50% to ensure that the anticorrosion properties of the
coolant are maintained. Antifreeze concentrations greater
than 60% are not recommended as cooling efficiency will be
impaired.
The following recommended quantities of antifreeze will
provide frost protection to -37℃ - 40℃.
Engine - K1.8
Concentration
Amount of antifreeze
Brake/Clutch Fluid
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid.
