Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Relation Between Coolant Concentration And Specific Gravity: Example
2003 Hyundai XG350 BaseSECTION Example
The safe operating temperature is - 15°C (5°F) when the measured specific gravity is 1.058 at coolant temperature of 20°C (68°F)
CAUTION:
- If the concentration of the coolant is below 30%, its anti-corrosion property will be adversely affected.
- If the concentration is above 60%, the engine cooling property will decrease, affecting the engine adversely. For these reasons, be sure to maintain the concentration level within the specified range.
- Do not mix types of anti - freeze.
