If there is any doubt over the water quality, distilled water or pre-mixed coolantshould be used.The coolants / antifreezes, which are good performance for example, are shown below.• TEXACO LONG LIFE COOLANT ANTIFREEZE, both standard and pre-mixed.Product codes 7997 and 7998• HAVOLINE EXTENDED LIFE ANTIFREEZE / COOLANTProduct code 7994IMPORTANT:• Be sure to add Long Life Coolant Antifreeze (LLC) to soft water. In cold season, the LLC is especiallyimportant. Without LLC, cooling performance will decrease due to scale and rust in the cooling waterline. Without LLC, cooling water will freeze and expand to break the cooling line.• Be sure to use the mixing ratios specified by the LLC manufacturer for your temperature range.• Do not mix different types (brand) of LLC, chemical reactions may make the LLC useless and enginetrouble could result.• Replace the cooling water every once a year.When handling Long Life Coolant Antifreeze, wear protective rubbergloves not to touch it. If LLC gets eyes or skin, wash with clean water atonce.
