Looking for the fluid requirements for 660 Copen. Can't seem to find a comprehensive list. Any help would be great Regards Tony
Take a look in the owners manual But I can tell you most of it out of my head: Oil - 5w30 with ACEA A3/B4 profile is recommended, but I would go for 0W40 with a Mercedes 229.5 spec Gearbox Oil - 75W90 GL-4 (do NOT use GL-5) Power steering Fluid - Dexron III Brake Fluid - DOT4 Coolant - Glysantin G30, respectively C12+/G12+ (its the purple one) Hope this covers it all
Well the coolant took a bit of digging out. Local motor factors have blue, green, red, orange..... no purple. Eventually resorted to ebay for 5 litre of Comma Xsream G30 Glysantin OAT for £20 delivered.
Is it the concentrate? 5 Liters sounds a bit much for concentrate, as you only need about 1 liter for the change
like this ones 5 LITER PEMCO KÜHLERFROSTSCHUTZ 912+ (G12+) ROSA/ ROT / VIOLETT BIS -40°C Rest for other car..or for winter in the pool I would like to change your avatar .Link...
Yes its the concentrate, I expected to need about 2 litre at 50% mix guessing that capacity is just under 4 litres. COMMA - 5L XSTREAM RED ANTIFREEZE CONCENTRATE (XSR5L)
The coolant you chose seems about right I never needed more than one liter of antifreeze, still runs in the winter....
Had a look around for gear box oil before going shopping and found. 3L 75/80 GL4 And 5L 75/90 but dont know if its modern GL5 with the sticky modifiers or the older GL4 that most use in classic car gearboxes, searched the manufacturer but couldn't find any information on the oil. Ovoline Trojan fully synthetic 75/90 gear oil. Both oils are still sealed and seems a shame to waste the opportunity to use some. Any thoughts on the matter good buddies.
You can use just about any GL-4 rated Oil, but never ever use GL-5, it will damage the insides of your transmission. If it says on the box that it is for differentials, it will probably be GL-5. Would not risk it... 75W80 is also a recommended spec for the Copen. How old is the oil? Even in a sealed container I would not use it after it 6 years post production.
Thanks, the 5L has been on my shelf for at least ten years possibly twenty or more. I'll go with the three small bottles of 75/80 GL4 and quite fresh.
