2. Fill cooling system as required with coolant. To ensure
adequate fill, do not add coolant at a rate greater than 3
gallons/minute (11 liters/minute).
See engine manufacturer’s manual for antifreeze and
coolant additive recommendations.
3. Look for coolant leaks while engine is running; correct if
