Since the additives are sub\u00adject to aging, the coolant should be changed every two years. To prevent corrosion, the concentration of the anti\u00adfreeze should not drop below 30 % by volume (-20 \u00b0C antifreeze). If no antifreeze is available and only water is filled in, be sure to add 1 % of treating compound (anti-corrosion oil 10 cc\/l water). The antifreeze increases the boiling point, which amounts to approx. 118 \u00b0C for water at 1 bar gage pressure to approx. 125 \u00b0C as a result of the mixture filled in at the factory. The red mark of coolant thermometer begins at 122 \u00b0C. This must be specially observed when only water and treating agent are filled in. In such a case coolant may be thrown out before the indicator of the coolant thermometer is at the red mark. When driving under full load, on mountain roads and bumper to bumper, or following a fast ride on an express highway with subsequent traffic congestion, or when driving in areas with high outside tempera\u00adtures, the coolant temperature indicator may rise up to the red mark if an antifreeze of at least \u201430 \u00b0C is filled in, without any ejection of coolant or faulty running of engine. When the engine is operated for an extended period with the vehicle stopped, e.g. during a vehicle con\u00adgestion, it will be of advantage to move the selector lever into position &#8222;N&#8221;. This will reduce the heat development in transmission and thereby prevent ad\u00additional heating up of coolant by wax of the trans\u00admission oil cooler. If coolant is lost by leaks in cooling system or by ejection as the result of overheating, add a pertinently prepared coolant. Losses caused by evaporation can be compensated by adding tap water. &nbsp; 20.8-005\/3 F 2 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[55,44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-engine-cooling-om617","category-om617"],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"mackuz","author_link":"https:\/\/mbci.mackuz.ovh\/index.php\/author\/mackuz\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbci.mackuz.ovh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbci.mackuz.ovh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbci.mackuz.ovh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbci.mackuz.ovh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbci.mackuz.ovh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3018"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mbci.mackuz.ovh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3018\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3019,"href":"https:\/\/mbci.mackuz.ovh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3018\/revisions\/3019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbci.mackuz.ovh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbci.mackuz.ovh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbci.mackuz.ovh\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
