The phosphate-based ethylene glycol coolant named in the table
The table does not print a 50/50 mix ratio.
| Item | Figure | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Coolant | Mixture of antifreeze and water. Phosphate-based ethylene glycol coolant for an aluminum radiator. | Recommended lubricants, coolant |
| 1.6 T-GDI, manual and DCT | 6.45 US qt. (6.1 L). One volume is printed beside both transmission labels. | Recommended lubricants, coolant |
| 2.0 MPI, manual | 6.34 US qt. (6.0 L). | Recommended lubricants, coolant |
| 2.0 MPI, IVT | 6.97 US qt. (6.6 L). | Recommended lubricants, coolant |
The classification is a mixture of antifreeze and water, described as phosphate-based ethylene glycol coolant for an aluminum radiator.
The coolant row prints 6.45 US qt beside both the manual and dual-clutch labels for the 1.6 T-GDI.
A manual 2.0 MPI is 6.34 US qt. An IVT 2.0 MPI is 6.97 US qt.
No bleed sequence is printed in the capacity table, so none is added. DCT means dual-clutch transmission and IVT means intelligent variable transmission, as the manual defines those abbreviations.
