ENGINE COOLANT
Checking engine/intercooler coolant
The concentration and level of engine/intercooler coolant should be
checked at the mileage intervals listed in the Scheduled Maintenance
Guide. The coolant concentration should be maintained at 50/50 coolant
and distilled water, which equates to a freeze point of -34°F (-36°C).
Coolant concentration testing is possible with a hydrometer or antifreeze
tester (such as the Rotunda Battery and Antifreeze Tester, 014–R1060).
The level of coolant should be maintained at the bottom of the lower
baffle in the coolant reservoir. If the level falls below, add coolant per the
instructions in the Adding engine coolant section.
Your vehicle was factory-filled with a 50/50 engine coolant and water
concentration. If the concentration of coolant falls below 40% or above
60%, the engine parts could become damaged or not work properly. A
50–50 mixture of coolant and water provides the following:
• Freeze protection down to -34°F (-36°C).
• Boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C).
• Protection against rust and other forms of corrosion.
• Enables calibrated gauges to work properly.
