Coolant Life of Glycol Coolant
A properly maintained cooling system, filled with phosphate-free coolant
consisting of a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water per TMC RP-329; Type A; (EG)
specifications can be operated to the limits recommended. The proper maintenance
involves periodic evaluation using Detroit Genuine Fluid Analysis 3-Way Coolant
Test Strips and the addition of Supplemental Coolant Additive as needed, indicated
by the strip test. To verify coolant acceptability, submit a sample for laboratory
analysis once a year. Submit the sample in a Detroit Genuine Fluid Analysis
Coolant Test Bottle.

How to Replace the Coolant Filter

The engine is equipped with a coolant filter. The coolant filter contains
supplemental corrosion inhibitors. Refer to the EPA07 or EPA10 Preventative
Maintenance Tables for the interval in which to replace the coolant filter.
• Refer to section "EPA07 DD Series Preventive Maintenance Tables"
• Refer to section "EPA10/GHG14 DD Series Preventive Maintenance Tables"
NOTE: In addition to the cleaning procedure, other components of the
cooling system should be checked periodically to keep the engine operating
at peak efficiency.
Service the cooling system as follows:
WARNING: HOT COOLANT
To avoid scalding from the expulsion of hot coolant, never
remove the cooling system pressure cap while the engine is at
operating temperature. Wear adequate protective clothing (face
shield, rubber gloves, apron, and boots). Remove the cap slowly
to relieve pressure.
NOTE: Change the coolant filter only after the vehicle has cooled and no
residual pressure is present.
NOTE: Use care to prevent foreign objects from entering the filter housing.
