Mixture Ratio (%)

- Too much antifreeze in the coolant mixture may cause engine overheating. Keep 33% antifreeze mixture (same as the mixture for a minimum ambient temperature of -15 ºC) if the engine overheats in a high ambient temperature. - Do not use hard water or water with high levels of calcium and magnesium ions as the coolant water.

IMPORTANT Do not mix different brands of antifreeze because they each contain special additives. Careless mixing often diminishes the effect of these additives and causes packing damage or water leakage.
