CHAPTER 8
The oil level should be between the “MIN” and “MAX” level lines. If
the oil is below the “MIN” level, replenish the oil by adding the
recommended oil until the level is within the limits.
The distance between these two lines represents 0.5 quarts (0.47 l).
8.6.3 ENGINE COOLANT
The A5-B engine coolant expands and contracts into and out of a
coolant overflow bottle located near the aft, right side of the engine
compartment. This overflow bottle can be seen by looking between
the blades of the engine cooling fan. At all times, the coolant level in
this bottle should be between the ‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’ level lines. If the
coolant level is below the ‘MIN’ level when the engine is completely
cold, replenish the coolant by adding a 50:50 mix of antifreeze and
distilled water until the level is within the limits.
8.6.4 BRAKE FLUID
The differential braking system on the A5-B uses dual fluid
reservoirs mounted to the back side of the passenger rudder
pedals. If the fluid level is below the maximum level marked on the
reservoir, then add mineral brake fluid to bring the level to maximum.
Refer to A5-B Maintenance Manual for brake fluid servicing
instructions.
CAUTION: It is critical that only Mineral fluid (or equiva-
lent compatible) is used. Do not use DOT4
brake fluid. The correct fluid type is marked
on the fluid reservoir. Use of the incorrect
fluid type may lead to brake failure.
