hydrometers are not accurate enough for use with heavy
duty diesel cooling systems.
Antifreeze/Coolant
Heavy duty diesel engines require a balanced mixture of
water and antifreeze/coolant. Fill the system with a 50/50
blended, fully formulated extended life antifreeze/coolant at
all times. Refer to Lubrication section. Do not use more than
50 percent antifreeze/coolant in the mixture unless additional
freeze protection is required. Never use more than 68
percent antifreeze/coolant under any condition. Antifreeze/
coolant at 68 percent provides the maximum freeze
protection; antifreeze/coolant protection decreases above 68
percent.
Coolant Filter
The engine has a coolant filter of the canister or spin-on type
that requires periodic servicing. It is suggested that this be
done when engine oil and filter are changed. Refer to
Antifreeze/Supplemental Coolant Additives Maintenance
Summary, page 7-22. There is a shut off valve located on the
coolant filter head. Turn it to the OFF position before
removing the filter. After changing filter, be sure the valve is
positioned to the ON position.
