Engine coolant

Use Texaco XLC long life coolant. Use one part anti-freeze to one part water for
protection down to -36

C (-33

F).

IMPORTANT: Coolant solution must not fall below 50% anti-freeze otherwise
damage to engine is liable to occur. Maximun concentration is 60%.

Use only refrigerant R134a

Compressor Oil

ND-OIL 8

LUBRICATION PRACTICE

Use a high quality oil of the correct viscosity range and service classification in the engine during maintenance and
when topping up. The use of oil not to the correct specification can lead to high oil and fuel consumption and
ultimately to damaged components.

Oil to the correct specification contains additives which disperse the corrosive acids formed by combustion and
prevent the formation of sludge which can block the oilways. Additional oil additives should not be used. Always
adhere to the recommended servicing intervals.

WARNING: Many liquids and other substances used in motor vehicles are poisonous. They must
not be consumed and must be kept away from open wounds. These substances, among others,
include anti-freeze, windscreen washer additives, lubricants and various adhesives.

ANTI-FREEZE

PERCENTAGE CONCENTRATION - 50%

PROTECTION - LOWER TEMPERATURE LIMIT

Complete protection
Vehicle may be driven away immediately from cold,
-33

C (-36

F).

Safe limit protection
Coolant in semi-frozen state. Engine may be started
and driven away after warm-up period, -41

C (-42

F).

Lower protection
Prevents frost damage to cylinder head, block and
radiator. Thaw out before starting engine, -47

C (-53

F).

CAUTION: Anti-freeze content must never
be allowed to fall below 50% otherwise
damage to the engine is liable to occur.

Also, anti-freeze content should not exceed 60%
as this will greatly reduce the cooling effect of the
coolant.

RECOMMENDED FUEL

Diesel fuel oil, distillate, diesel fuel, automotive gas or
Derv to British standard 2869, Class A1 or A2

Using diesel fuel with a class rating lower than stated
above could seriously impair vehicle performance.
