COOLANT CHECK AND REPLACEMENT
EG09S–01
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVE TANK
The engine coolant level should be between the ”LOW” and
”FULL” lines.
If low, check for leaks and add engine coolant up to the
”FULL” line.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scales
around the radiator cap (water outlet side) or water outlet filler
hole, and the engine coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, replace the engine coolant.
3. REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT
(a) Remove the radiator cap from the water outlet.
CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not
remove it while the engine and radiator are still hot, as
fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) Drain the engine coolant from the radiator drain cock and
engine drain plug (Engine drain plug at the right of engine
block.)
(c) Close the drain cock.
Torque (Engine drain plug):
29 N⋅m (300 kgf⋅cm, 22 ft⋅lbf)
(d) Slowly fill the system with engine coolant from the water
outlet.
•Use a good brand of ethylene–glycol base engine coolant
and mix it according to the manufacturer’s directions.
•Using engine coolant which includes more than 50%
ethylene–glycol (but not more than 70%) is
recommended.
