Cooling system
Antifreeze and corrosion protection
products
Only Scania coolant or other products that Scan-
ia has tested to provide proper antifreeze and cor-
rosion protection, may be used in Scania
engines. Products that do not satisfy the require-
ments for use in a Scania engine can result in
faults in and damage to the cooling system. This
can lead to the invalidation of Scania's warranty
for faults and damage caused by the use of inap-
propriate coolant.
The antifreeze and corrosion protection products
used in Scania engines should be of the ethylene
glycol type.
Below is a list of Scania antifreeze and corrosion
protection products.

Checking coolant level
Do not open the coolant filler cap in the expan-
sion tank if the engine is hot. Hot coolant and
steam may spray out and cause burns.
If the cap has to be opened do it slowly and care-
fully to release the pressure before removing the
cap. Wear gloves as the coolant is still very hot.
It is not permissible to top up large amounts of
coolant via the expansion tank. Filling via the ex-
pansion tank leads to air locks in the cooling sys-
tem which can lead to e.g. damage to the coolant
pump shaft seal. If a large amount of coolant
must be added, follow the instructions in the sec-
tion Filling coolant
.
Never fill a large amount of cold coolant in a hot
engine. There is great risk of cracks forming in
the cylinder block and cylinder heads.
Only pour pre-mixed coolant into the cooling
system.
The following instructions apply to Scania ex-
pansion tanks. For other types of expansion
tanks, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
1. Check the coolant level through the sight
glass on the expansion tank.
2. Top up with coolant as necessary.
