Service Products, Fluids and Capacities
Service products
Service products are fuel, engine oil, coolant and brake fluid. McLaren recommends that you only use products tested and approved for McLaren. Damage resulting from using non-approved service products is not covered by the liability for material defects.
WARNING: When handling, storing and disposing of any service products, please observe the relevant regulations. Failure to do so could endanger people and the environment. Do not allow service products to come into direct contact with your eyes or open wounds. Contact a doctor immediately if any service product is swallowed.
ENVIRONMENTAL: Dispose of service products in an environmentally responsible manner.
Engine oil
|
Engine oil capacity |
8.0 litres |
McLaren recommends using Gulf Formula Elite 5W-40 (API SP, ACEA C3).
Gulf Formula Elite is an advanced, fully synthetic oil that provides enhanced deposit and wear protection. It also offers protection against possible Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) in the latest Turbocharged Gasoline Direct Injection (TGDI) engines.
As per industry standard tests, it can offer up to:
40% more deposit control 1
37% less wear 2
90% better soot handling 3
1 As per industry standard test Seq. IH for API SP
2 As per industry standard test OM646LA for ACEA C3
3 As per industry standard test DV6C for ACEA C3
You may obtain further information from your McLaren retailer.
NOTE: Do not use any lubricant additives. These could lead to increased wear and damage to the mechanical assemblies. Damage caused by additives, that are not approved, is not covered by the McLaren warranty.
Fuel
WARNING: Fuel is highly flammable. Fire, naked flames and smoking are prohibited when handling fuels. Switch off the engine before refuelling.
WARNING: Do not allow fuel to come into contact with skin or clothing. Allowing fuels to come into direct contact with your skin or inhaling fuel vapours is damaging to your health.

|
Antifreeze quantity for protection to -20°C (-4°F) |
12.25 litres (2.7 UK gal.) |
The coolant is a mixture of water, antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor. It performs the following functions in the cooling system:
- Antifreeze protection
- Increased efficiency of the cooling system
- Offers anti-corrosion protection
NOTE: Use coolant in all climates, all year round. If coolant is not used, the cooling system will not be sufficiently protected from corrosion and the cooling system efficiency will be reduced.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the engine, only top up with a pre-mixed coolant that provides the desired level of antifreeze protection.
If antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor is present in the correct concentration, the boiling point of the coolant will be around 130°C (266°F). The antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor concentration in the cooling system should be approximately 50% ±5%. This will protect the cooling system against freezing in temperatures of -40°C
(-40°F).
The antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor concentration in the cooling system should not exceed 55%, which provides antifreeze protection down to -45°C (-49°F), as a higher concentration will not dissipate heat as effectively.
If the vehicle is losing coolant, do not drive your vehicle and contact your McLaren retailer.
Power steering fluid
Only use Pentosin CHF202 power steering fluid.
Brake fluid
Only use Pentosin DoT 5.1 brake fluid.
Over time, the brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, this reduces its boiling point.
WARNING: If the boiling point of the brake fluid is reduced too much, vapour pockets may form in the brake system when the brakes are applied hard (e.g. when driving downhill or track driving) impairing the braking efficiency. Therefore, the brake fluid must be replaced at the recommended service intervals.
