FLUIDS

Brake Fluid

Use only AP New Premium Super DOT 4 brake/clutch fluid or Castrol Universal DOT 4 brake/clutch fluid. DO NOT use any other type of fluid.

Anti-Freeze Solutions

The overall anti-freeze concentration should not fall, by volume, below 50% to ensure that the anti-corrosion properties of the coolant is maintained. Anti-freeze concentrations greater than 60% are not recommended as cooling efficiency will be impaired.

Organic Acid Technology (OAT) anti-freeze Vehicles use Unipart OAT (or Havoline XLC) coolant which is Orange/Pink in colour. Vehicles using OAT anti-freeze are identified by a label attached around the expansion tank filler neck - see illustration.

CAUTION: The anti-freeze used in the cooling system contains OAT corrosion inhibitors. This anti-freeze must not be used with any other anti-freeze and must not be used as a replacement in cooling systems of other vehicles which previously contained anti-freeze not of this type.

Anti-freeze solutions – Organic Acid Technology (OAT) anti-freeze Vehicles use Unipart OAT (or Havoline XLC) coola

Use UNIPART OAT or Havoline XLC Anti-freeze and Summer Coolant or any ethylene glycol based anti-freeze (containing no methanol) with only OAT corrosion inhibitors, to protect the cooling system.

Only anti-freeze containing OAT corrosion inhibitors should be used. Do not top-up or refill cooling system with any other type of anti-freeze.

In an emergency, if anti-freeze to this specification is not available, top-up the cooling system with clean water only, but be aware of the resultant reduction in frost protection. The correct anti-freeze concentration must be restored as soon as possible.
