Engine Cooling System; Engine Coolant Level Check; Anti-Freeze/Coolant Mixture - Lotus Evora 400 2018 Owner's Handbook Manual

SERVICING & MAINTENANCE
Topping Up: If topping up is necessary,
unscrew the oil filler cap. Add a suitable
quantity of the recommended engine oil
(see 'Recommended Lubricants' section)
taking care not to spill any oil onto the en-
gine or electrical components; use a funnel
if necessary and clean up any spillage.
Allow several minutes for the oil to drain
through to the sump before re-checking
the oil level.
Refit the filler cap, turning clockwise until
secure.
NOTICE: Do NOT overfill, or lubrica-
tion will be degraded and consumption
increased as the oil becomes churned
and aerated.

Engine Cooling System

The engine cooling system reservoir is
mounted at the left hand side of the engine
bay, identified by its black filler cap with an
inset circular yellow warning label.
Under normal circumstances it should
not be necessary to add any coolant to the
system. If overfilled, the excess coolant will
be ejected when the engine is warm.

Engine Coolant Level Check

Check when the engine is fully COLD,
and only when the car is on a completely
level surface, without disturbing the pres-
sure cap, check the level of coolant in the
translucent header tank. The maximum
recommended cold level is 10mm below the
horizontal moulded seam running around
the tank, with the lowest acceptable level
being 25mm below the seam.
Topping up: Ensure that the coolant is fully
cold before slowly unscrewing the filler cap
allowing any remaining pressure to escape
before finally removing the cap.
WARNING
Do NOT attempt to remove the pressure
cap from the header tank when the engine
is warm as serious scalding could result
from boiling water and/or steam.

Coolant is hazardous to your health and to
animals and may be fatal if swallowed.
Keep coolant out of reach of children.
Clean up spilled coolant and do not leave
in open containers.
Top up the header tank to the recommend-
ed level, refit the cap and turn clockwise
until the tab on the cap engages a detent,
at which position an abutment prevents any
over-tightening.

Anti-Freeze/Coolant Mixture

In order to maintain protection from
freezing damage and metal corrosion,
use only an approved coolant mixture (see
'Recommended Lubricants' section for
specification).
