 Correcting anticorrosion/antifreeze concentration

N20.00-2001-04

Example of calculation:

Measured antifreeze 20 °C =
32% by volume Anticorrosion/antifreeze agent concentration (A),

Total coolant capacity (B) 8.5 liters,

Calculated replenishment quantity(C) = 2.25 liters of anticorrosion/antifreeze agent.

1 Enter the calculated anticorrosion/antifreeze concentration (A) in the calculation table.

2 Read the total coolant capacity (B) from the basic data table and enter it in the calculation table.

3 Calculate replenished quantity of anticorrosion/antifreeze agent (C)

4 Drain the calculated top-up quantity of coolant (C) at the drain plug on the radiator.

5 Pour the calculated top-up quantity of anticorrosion/antifreeze agent (C) into the cooling system.

6 Start engine and run for about 1 minute at varying speeds.
