Coolant

Type G12 A8F A4
Color Purple

COOLING SYSTEM: Use only phosphate free coolant G 012 A8F A4 (PURPLE COLORED). DO NOT INTERCHANGE OR MIX older G 011 A8 C or G 012 A8D with G012 A8F A4. This can result in serious damage to the engine. Frost protection is required down to approx. -25_C (-13_F). In countries with arctic climates, frost protection is required down to approx. --35_C (--31_F). The anti-freeze ratio must be a minimum of 40%, as otherwise frost protection is reduced. The recommended mixture ratio is 50:50. If greater frost protection is required (very cold climates), the amount of G 012 A8F A4 can be increased, but only up to 60%. This provides frost protection to approx. -40_C(-40_F). Do not reduce the coolant concentration by adding water, even in warmer seasons and in warmer countries, as cooling effectiveness will be reduced.
