Engine oil level check
Consult the Engine Operation Manual for the oil
specifications, viscosity recommendations and oil change
intervals.
For intervals, see section “Maintenance schedule” on
page 42.
Check engine oil level according to the instructions in the
Engine Operation Manual and if necessary top up with oil.
Engine oil and oil filter change
The table below shows the oil change interval according
to the sulfur content in the fuel.
Engine coolant specifications
The use of the correct coolant is important for good heat
transfer and protection of liquid-cooled engines. Coolants
used in these engines must be mixtures of good quality
water (distilled or de-ionised), special coolant additives
and if necessary freeze protection. Coolant that is not to
manufacturer's specification will result in mechanical
damage of the engine.
The freezing point of the coolant must be lower than the
freezing point that can occur in the area. The difference
must be at least 5°C. If the coolant freezes, it may crack
the cylinder block, radiator or coolant pump.
Consult the engine's operation manual and follow the
manufacturer's directions.
Specifications PARCOOL EG
PARCOOL EG is the only coolant that has been tested and
approved by all engine manufacturers currently in use in
Atlas Copco compressors and generators.
Atlas Copco's PARCOOL EG extended life coolant is the
new range of organic coolants purpose designed to meet
the needs of modern engines. PARCOOL EG can help
prevent leaks caused by corrosion. PARCOOL EG is also
fully compatible with all sealants and gasket types
developed to join different materials used within an
engine.
PARCOOL EG is a ready to use Ethylene Glycol based
coolant, premixed in an optimum 50/50 dilution ratio, for
antifreeze protection guaranteed to -40°C.
Because PARCOOL EG inhibits corrosion, deposit
formation is minimized. This effectively eliminates the
problem of restricted flow through the engine coolant
ducts and the radiator, minimizing the risk for engine
overheating and possible failure.
It reduces water pump seal wear and has excellent stability
when subjected to sustained high operating temperatures.
PARCOOL EG is free of nitride and amines to protect
your health and the environment. Longer service life
reduces the amount of coolant produced and needing
disposal to minimise environmental impact.
To ensure protection against corrosion, cavitation and
formation of deposits, the concentration of the additives in
the coolant must be kept between certain limits, as stated
by the manufacturer's guidelines. Topping up the coolant
with water only, changes the concentration and is
therefore not allowed.
Liquid-cooled engines are factory-filled with this type of
coolant mixture.

Never remove the cooling system filler
cap while coolant is hot.
The system may be under pressure.
Remove the cap slowly and only when
coolant is at ambient temperature. A
sudden release of pressure from a heated
cooling system can result in personal
injury from the splash of hot coolant.
It is strongly recommended to use Atlas
Copco branded coolant.
Never mix different coolants and mix
the coolant components outside the
cooling system.
Never replace the coolant filter on the
engine! Just replace the coolant every 5
years or after 10.000 running hours.
