(1)  Contact  Unit  Maintenance  to  prepare  the  cooling  system  by  draining  and  then  refilling  with antifreeze   appropriate   for   anticipated   temperatures.   Refer   to   Appendix   D   and   FM   4-367. (2)  Contact  Unit  Maintenance  to  change  the  engine  lubricating  oil  to  the  grade  called  for  in LO1   0-3930-660-12   for   cold   weather   operation. b.    S t a r t i n g     t h e     E n g i n e.
