For cooling system capacities not shown, the required amount of antifreeze can be calculated, using the following: Ethylene-glycol-base antifreezeina25%
solution protects to 10°F (12°C), 33% to 0°F (–18°C), 40% to –12°F (–24°C), 50% to –34°F (–37°C), and 60% to –62°F (–52°C).
†
60% ethylene-glycol-base antifreeze and 40% water by volume gives maximum coolant protection (–62°F [–52°C]). Exceeding 60% antifreeze diminishes
coolant protection; concentrated ethylene-glycol-base antifreeze will freeze at approximately 0°F (–18°C).

3. Clean the fan clutch air solenoid valve filter, if
equipped.
3.1 Unscrew the fan clutch solenoid valve air
filter assembly and remove the filter ele-
ment.
