RE AD TU LE RN RECYCLE ENGINE COOLANT Checking engine coolant The concentration and level of engine coolant should be checked at the mileage intervals listed in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide. The coolant concentration should be maintained at 50/50 coolant and distilled water, which equates to a freeze point of -36° C (-34° F). Coolant concentration testing is possible with a hydrometer or antifreeze tester (such as the Rotunda Battery and Antifreeze Tester, 014-R1060). The level of coolant should be maintained at the "FULL COLD" or within the "COLD FILL RANGE" level in the coolant reservoir. If the level falls below, add coolant per the instructions in the Adding engine coolant section. 230 2004 Monterey (mty) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
