Coolant Level Servicing

STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLANT LEVEL SERVICING

NOTE: The cooling system is closed and designed to maintain coolant level to the top of the radiator.





When servicing requires a coolant level check in the engine, the engine must be off and not under pressure. Drain several ounces of coolant from the radiator draincock while observing the coolant recovery container. Coolant level in the container should drop slightly. Then remove the pressure cap, (Fig. 3). Coolant should be to the top of the pressure cap neck. If not, and the coolant level in the recovery container is at the ADD mark there is a air leak in the recovery system. Check hose or hose connections to the recovery container, radiator filler neck or the pressure cap seal to the radiator filler neck for leaks.
