Cooling System – Drain, Flush, And Refill
If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty and contains a
considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with
reliable cooling system cleaner. Follow with a thorough
rinsing to remove all deposits and chemicals. Properly
dispose of the old engine coolant (antifreeze).

Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper
maintenance intervals.

Selection Of Engine Coolant
Use only the manufacturer’s recommended engine cool-
ant (antifreeze). Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genu-
ine Parts” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further
information.

CAUTION!

Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than

the specified HOAT engine coolant (antifreeze)
may result in engine damage and may decrease
corrosion protection. If a non-HOAT engine cool-
ant (antifreeze) is introduced into the cooling
system in an emergency, it should be replaced with
the specified engine coolant (antifreeze) as soon as
possible.

Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine

coolant (antifreeze) products. Do not use addi-
tional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they
may not be compatible with the antifreeze/engine
coolant (antifreeze) and may plug the radiator.
