Hi all,
I'm pretty new to maintenance and servicing my little SK17SR but i am most of the way way through a full service.
The only spot i have come unstuck is changing the coolant.
The service manual lists 2 difference fluid amounts in the lube chart and spec page. Forgive that lack of knowledge on gallons but its lists 2 lines as 1.8 liters and 3.7 liters.
When i drained it i only got about 2.9 liters and another 0.4ish from the high/low bottle.
This is what i have done:
- Drain old coolant
- Refill with water and cleaner
- Run engine for 10mins
- Flush out cleaner and refill with clean water until it runs clear
- Re drain all water
- Put in 33% mix of coolant and demineralized water. Filling from the radiator cap.
Here's where i am stuck! I put in the same quantity as what i took out. Its much less than the book seems to say.
Also, do i fill up the white bottle with the high/low marks? Or should it do this itself and then i top back up though the cap?
I've run the engine and the level in the radiator does not drop, but the bottle is still empty.
i really don't want to mess the engine up so I've left it for now while i seek advice.
