SERIES 60 ENGINE OPERATOR'S GUIDE
A coolant system properly maintained
and protected with supplemental
coolant inhibitors can be operated
up to the intervals listed. At
these intervals the coolant must
be drained and disposed of in an
environmentally responsible manner
according to state and/or federal
(EPA) recommendations.
Coolant Type
Coolant Replacement Interval
A 50/50 mix of Power Cool
®
fully
formulated, inhibited ethylene glycol
antifreeze and water or a 50/50 mix of
fully formulated, inhibited propylene
glycol antifreeze and water
With proper maintenance
1
coolant
can be operated 2 years, 300,000
miles (480,000 km), or 4,000 hours,
whichever comes first. At this time the
cooling system must be completely
drained and cleaned before refill.
A 50/50 mix of phosphate-free TMC
RP-329 “Type A“ (propylene glycol)
antifreeze and water.
With proper maintenance
1
coolant can
be operated for the life of the engine
until overhaul.
2
For life to overhaul,
pre-charged coolant in combination
with a need-release filter must be
used. At this time the cooling system
must be completely drained and
cleaned before refill.
A 50/50 mix of OAT (organic acid
technology) coolant and water.
With proper maintenance coolant can
be operated 4 years, 600,000 miles
(960,000 km), or 10,000 operating
hours, whichever comes first.
3
At
this time the cooling system must
be completely drained and cleaned
before refill.
1
Proper maintenance involves periodic evaluation using PowerTrac
®
3-Way Coolant Test Strips and the addition of required SCA, as
indicated by the test strip.
2
To verify coolant acceptability, submit a sample to DDC for coolant
analysis every 3 years, 300,000 miles (480,000 km) or 6,000
operating hours, whichever comes first. Submit sample using
PowerTrac coolant analysis kit, part number 23516921 (IEG/IPG
coolant) or 23523398 (organic coolant).
3
OAT coolants require the addition of an extender every 2 years,
300,000 miles (480,000 km), or 5,000 hours, whichever comes first.
Use 1 pint to 20 gallons of OAT coolant.
