AP20.00-G-2010-01MT | Correcting anticorrosion/antifreeze concentration | ||
Warning | Risk of injury to skin and eyes suffering scalding from contact with hot coolantspray. Risk of poisoning from swallowing coolant. | Do not open cooling system unless coolant temperature is below 90 °C. Open cap slowly and release the pressure. Do not pour coolant into beverage containers. | |
Warning | Risk of accident from vehicle starting off by itself when engine running. Risk of injury (bruises and burns) resulting from working on the engine while it is being started or when it is running. | Secure vehicle to prevent it from starting off by itself. Wear closed and snug-fitting work clothes. Do not touch hot or rotating parts. | |

Example calculation |
N20.00-0376-04
Example of calculation:
Measured antifreeze protection -20 °C = 32 Vol.-%
Anticorrosion agent concentration and antifreeze concentration (in % by volume) (A)
Total coolant capacity (in liters) (B) = 41 l
Required top-off quantity of anticorrosion and antifreeze agent (in liters) (C) = 10.85 l
1 | Anticorrosion agent concentration and antifreeze concentration (in % by volume) (A) in calculation table. |
2 | Enter total coolant filling capacity (in liter) (B) as specified by vehicle manufacturer or engine supplier into calculation table. |
3 | Calculate required refill quantity of anticorrosion and antifreeze (in liters) (C). |
4 | Drain coolant in calculated top-off quantity for anticorrosion and antifreeze (in liters) (C) at the drain plug of the radiator. |
5 | Add calculated refill quantity for anticorrosion and antifreeze (in liters) (C) to expansion reservoir. |
6 | Start engine and run at varying engine speeds for approx. 1 min. |
