(MIL-L-2104), SAE 20W30, above 50°F

At operating temperatures, engine coolant
is hot and under pressure. It also contains
alkaline materials harmful to eyes and skin.
To avoid personal injury, check coolant
level only when engine is stopped and filler
cap is cool enough to be touched with a bare
hand. Should engine coolant come in con-
tact with eyes or skin, immediately flush
affected area with clean water and seek
medical assistance if necessary.
