FLUIDS

Brake Fluid

Use only AP New Premium Super DOT 4 brake fluid or Castrol Girling 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 are maintained. Anti-freeze concentrations greater than 60% are not recommended as cooling efficiency will be impaired.

The cooling system should be drained, flushed and refilled with the correct amount of anti-freeze solution at the intervals given on the Service Maintenance Check Sheet.

Early cars

Use UNIPART Superplus Anti-freeze and Summer Coolant to protect the cooling system.

CAUTION: No other ’universal’ or organic acid technology anti-freeze should be used with UNIPART Superplus Anti-freeze and Summer Coolant.

If UNIPART Superplus Anti-freeze and Summer Coolant is not available, use an ethylene glycol based anti-freeze containing no methanol with non-phosphate corrosion inhibitors which meet specifications BS6580 and BS5117 suitable for use in mixed metal engines.

To ensure the protection of the cooling system against corrosion, these anti-freezes must be renewed every 12 months. 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.

Later cars

CAUTION: The anti-freeze contained in the cooling systems of later cars contains organic acid technology corrosion inhibitors. These cars may be identified by a label carrying the letters O.A.T. which is positioned around the expansion tank filler neck. This anti-freeze should not be used with any other anti-freeze and should not be used as a replacement in cooling systems which previously contained anti-freeze not of this type.

Use UNIPART O.A.T. Anti-freeze and Summer Coolant to protect the cooling system.

Only anti-freeze containing organic acid technology corrosion inhibitors should be used in the cooling systems of these cars. 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 sustem 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.
