COOLANT STRENGTH / TYPE
Test the strength of the coolant using an antifreeze
hydrometer.
• A 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water will
provide the optimum cooling, corrosion protection, and
antifreeze protection.
• Do not use tap water, straight antifreeze, or straight
water in the system. Tap water contains minerals and
impurities which build up in the system.
• Straight water or antifreeze may cause the system to
freeze, corrode, or overheat.
Recommended Antifreeze:
