When mixed with water the antifreeze can be used as a factory fill or a service “top-up” coolant for suitable engine cooling systems, designed for a life of 2 years. Directions for Use: Drain & Flush the cooling system with clean water. Check all hoses, clips and joints for leakage. Refer to vehicle manufacturer's handbook for the total volume of the cooling system. Remove radiator cap and pour 1.5L of clean water into radiator system. Add coolant to a volume equal to 50% of the total coolant system capacity and top up with clean water to recommended fill level. Replace cap. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature to remove any airlocks. Switch off engine and allow to cool. Remove radiator cap and top up with water if necessary. Replace cap. Note: It is recommended to have a 50/50 coolant and water mixture to obtain optimum protection. Drain and flush the system with clean water before refilling the with coolant and water mixture. If neat fluid is spilled onto paintwork, rinse off with water. Key Features: Conforms to BS6580 (2010) Excellent compatibility with seals, hoses and plastic components.
