Millenia V6-2.5L DOHC (1999)
Coolant: Testing and Inspection
ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION
1. Verify that the coolant level in the radiator reservoir is between the FULL and LOW marks.
2. Add coolant if necessary.
Note:
^
The distance between the FULL and LOW marks on the radiator reservoir represents 0.4 L (0.4 US qt., 0.4 Imp qt.).
ENGINE COOLANT PROTECTION
Caution:
^
The engine has aluminum parts that can be damaged by alcohol or methanol antifreeze. Do not use alcohol or methanol in the cooling system. Use
only ethylene-glycol-based coolant.
^
Use only soft (demineralized) water in the coolant mixture. Water that contains minerals will cut down on the coolant's effectiveness.
1. Measure the coolant temperature and specific gravity with a thermometer and a hydrometer.
2. Determine the coolant protection by referring to the graph shown.
3. If the coolant protection is not proper, add water or coolant as necessary.
