Engine Coolant

Recommended Coolant
Always use ethylene-glycol antifreeze
containing corrosion inhibitors specifi-
cally for internal combustion aluminum
engines.
NOTE: When available, it is recom-
mended to use biodegradable anti-
freeze compatible with internal com-
bustion aluminum engines. This will
contribute to protect the environment.
Cooling system must be filled with wa-
ter and antifreeze solution (50% water,
50% antifreeze).
Bombardier sells premixed coolant with
freezing protection up to 52°C (- 62°F)
(P/N 293 600 038).
