Lifetime replacements

2. Upon reaching a run of 240 thousand km. or 5 years of operation, the coolant must be replaced. After the first replacement, the rules change a little. further replacement is carried out every 60 thousand km. or 48 months of vehicle operation. Vehicles are filled with purple G12 PLUS coolant that complies with TL VW 774 F. Coolants can be mixed with G12 and G11 coolants.
