Anti-Freeze Concentration

CAPACITIES, FLUIDS, LUBRICANTS AND SEALANTS

09-2

Fluids

Anti-freeze
Use only Texaco anti-freeze coolant (AFC). This is 
an ethylene glycol based anti-freeze (containing no 
methanol) with silicate non-phosphate corrosion 
inhibitors, to protect the cooling system

CAUTION: If Texaco AFC is unavailable, use any 
ethylene glycol based anti-freeze (containing no 
methanol) with silicate non-phosphate corrosion 
inhibitors.

 The cooling system should be drained, flushed and 
refilled with the correct amount of anti-freeze solution 
at the intervals given on the Service Maintenance 
Check Sheet.

After filling with anti-freeze solution, attach a warning 
label to a prominent position on the vehicle stating 
the type of anti-freeze contained in the cooling 
system to ensure that the correct type is used for 
topping-up. 

Brake fluid
Use only Shell DOT 4 ESL brake fluid. 

PAS fluid
Use only Texaco Cold Climate PSF 14315 fluid.

Air conditioning
Use only refrigerant HFC-R134a.

Refrigerant oil

Use only Nippon Denso ND-oil 8.

Refrigerant oil absorbs water and must not be stored 
for long periods. Do not pour unused oil back into the 
container.

NOTE: The total quantity of refrigerant oil in the 
system is 110 cc (3.8 fl.ozs).

CAUTION: Do not use any other type of 
refrigerant oil.

Anti-Freeze Concentration

The overall anti-freeze concentration should not fall, 
by volume, below 50% to ensure that the anti-
corrosion properties of the coolant are maintained. 
Anti-freeze concentrations greater than 60% are not 
recommended as cooling efficiency will be impaired.
