Closed Cooling System
Coolant Requirement
Using propylene glycol antifreeze in the closed cooling system can damage the cooling system or the engine. Fill the closed
cooling system with an ethylene glycol antifreeze solution suitable to the lowest temperature to which the engine will be
exposed.
NOTE: All factory‑installed closed cooling systems come filled with Extended Life Coolant. This antifreeze requires draining and
replacing every five years or 1000 hours of operation, whichever comes first. The color of this antifreeze is orange. Any "top‑off"
fluid used must be Extended Life Coolant.
