(28)Cooling System - Changing Antifreeze Solution

NOTE: When permanent antifreeze and water solutions are used in the cooling system, the solution should be drained and replaced every 2000 hours or yearly.

When additions of inhibitor are made to the cooling system every 500 hours or three months, it is not necessary to drain and refill yearly.

Whenever draining and refilling the cooling system, always recheck the coolant level when the engine reaches normal operating temperature.

Show/hide table
