Selection Of Coolant - Mitsubishi 1989-1993 GALANT Service Manual

GENERAL

SELECTION OF COOLANT

COOLANT
Relation between Antifreeze Concentration and Specific Gravity
Example:
The safe operating temperature is - 15°C (5°F) when the measured specific gravity is 1.058 at the Coolant
temperature of 20°C (68°F).
Cautions
1. If the concentration of the coolant is below 30%, the anti-corrosion property will be adversely
affected. In addition, if the concentration is above 60%, both the anti-freeze and engine cooling
properties will decrease, affecting the engine adversely. For these reasons, be sure to maintain the
concentration level within the specified range.
2. Do not use a mixture of different brands of anti-freeze.
Oil Identification Symbol
A standard .symbol appears on the top of oil containers and has
three district areas for identifying various aspects of the oil.
The top polqion will indicate the quality of the oil. The center
portion will show the SAE viscosity grade, such as SAE
indicates that the oil has fuel-saving capabilities.
