In extreme situations, when available fuels are of poor quality or problems exist which are particular to certain operations,
additives can be used; however, the engine manufacturer recommends consultation with the fuel supplier or engine
manufacturer before using fuel additives. Situations where additives are useful include:
• A cetane improver additive can be used with low cetane fuels.
• A wax crystal modifier can help with fuels with high cold filter plugging points (CFPP).
• An anti-icer can help prevent ice formation in wet fuel during cold weather.
• An antioxidant or storage stability additive can help with fuel system deposits and poor storage stability.
• Diesel fuel conditioner can be used to increase the lubricity of fuels so that they meet the requirements given in
Table 5.1, page 355. Diesel fuel conditioner is available from your Dealer.

5.1.4 Coolant Specifications

Follow the specifications for coolant and water quality to optimize system performance and prevent damage to system
components.
Recommended coolants: ASTM D-6210 and CES-14603, Peak Final Charge Global™, or Fleetguard ES Compleat™ OAT.
NOTE:
M2 Series Windrowers have Peak Final Charge Global
Mix equal parts of concentrated coolant to high quality, soft, deionized or distilled water as recommended by the supplier.
If Peak Final Charge Global
coolant intended for use with heavy duty diesel engines with the following chemical and physical properties:
• Provides cylinder cavitation protection according to a fleet study run at or above 60% load capacity
• Protects the cooling system metals (cast iron, aluminum alloys, and copper alloys such as brass) from corrosion
• Coolant MUST be nitrite-free and MUST be free of 2-Ethylhexanoic (2-EH) acid
The additive package must be part of one of the following coolant mixtures:
• Ethylene glycol or propylene glycol base prediluted (40–60%) heavy duty coolant
• Ethylene glycol or propylene glycol base heavy-duty coolant concentrate in a 40–60% mixture of concentrate with
quality water
Water quality is important for the performance of the cooling system. Distilled, deionized, or demineralized water is
recommended for mixing with ethylene glycol and propylene glycol base engine coolant concentrate.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT use cooling system sealing additives or antifreeze that contains sealing additives.
