Ducati Diavel Owners Manual: Checking and topping up coolant level
Check coolant level in the expansion tank on the right side of the vehicle.
Steer the handlebar completely to the left and check that the level is between the min and max marks on the side of the expansion reservoir.
Top up if the level is below the min mark.
Unscrew the filler plug (1) and add a mixture consisting of water and antifreeze shell advance coolant or glycoshell (35÷40% of the volume) up to the max level.
Refit the plug (1).
This type of mixture ensures the best operating conditions (the coolant starts to freeze at -20 C/-4 f).
