FLUIDS

Fuel

Octane rating:UNLEADED fuel - 95 RON minimum

CAUTION: Catalyst equipped vehicles MUST NOT be run on LEADED fuel as damage to the catalyst will result.

Brake/Clutch Fluid

For topping-up Rover recommend the use of AP New Premium Super DOT 4 brake fluid or Castrol Universal DOT 4 brake/clutch 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 are maintained. Anti-freeze concentrations greater than 60% are not recommended as cooling efficiency will be impaired.

Use UNIPART SUPERPLUS ANTI-FREEZE AND SUMMER COOLANT to protect the cooling system.

If this is not available, use an ethylene glycol based anti-freeze, containing no methanol with non-phosphate corrosion inhibitors suitable for use in mixed metal engines to ensure the protection of the cooling system against frost and corrosion.

CAUTION: No other ’universal’ anti-freeze should be used with UNIPART SUPERPLUS ANTI-FREEZE AND SUMMER COOLANT.

The cooling system should be drained, flushed and refilled with the correct amount of anti-freeze solution at three years and every two years thereafter.

After filling with anti-freeze solution, attach a warning label to a prominent position on the vehicle stating the type of anti-freeze contained in the cooling system to ensure that the correct type is used for topping-up.

The recommended quantities of anti-freeze for different degrees of frost protection are:
