Protecting the engine from cold

Cooling circuit

Check the percentage of PARAFLU 11 in the coolant every year. It should be at least 50% at all times throughout the year; if necessary, top up with water and PARAFLU 11 to provide adequate protection from rust.

Fuel supply

Use the winter fuels provided by oil companies. Keep the fuel tank as full as possible at all times.

Electrical system

Cold creates additional stress on batteries; their capacity decreases as the temperature drops. Check the batteries frequently; a flat battery will be damaged by frost.
