Diesel Engine Coolant
The engine cooling system is filled to provide
year-round protection against corrosion and cylinder
liner pitting, and winter freeze protection to -37
°
C
(-34
°
F). If protection at lower temperatures is required,
consult your John Deere dealer for recommendations.
John Deere COOL-GARD
Prediluted Coolant is
preferred for service.
John Deere COOL-GARD Prediluted Coolant is
available in either a concentration of 50% ethylene
glycol or a 55% propylene glycol.
Additional recommended coolants
The following engine coolant is also recommended:
•
John Deere COOL-GARD Coolant Concentrate in a
40% to 60% mixture of concentrate with quality
water.
John Deere COOL-GARD coolants do not require use
of supplemental coolant additives, except for periodic
replenishment of additives during the drain interval.
Other fully formulated coolants
Other fully formulated low silicate ethylene or
propylene glycol base coolants for heavy-duty engines
may be used if they meet one of the following
specifications:
•
ASTM D6210 prediluted (50%) coolant
•
ASTM D6210 coolant concentrate in a 40% to 60%
mixture of concentrate with quality water
Coolants meeting ASTM D6210 do not require use of
supplemental coolant additives, except for periodic
replenishment of additives during the drain interval.
Coolants requiring supplemental coolant additives
Other low silicate ethylene glycol base coolants for
heavy-duty engines may also be used if they meet one
of the following specifications:
•
ASTM D4985 ethylene glycol base prediluted (50%)
coolant
•
ASTM D4985 ethylene glycol base coolant
concentrate in a 40% to 60% mixture of concentrate
with quality water
Coolants meeting ASTM D4985 require an initial
charge of supplemental coolant additives, formulated
for protection of heavy duty diesel engines against
corrosion and cylinder liner erosion and pitting. They
also require periodic replenishment of additives during
the drain interval.
Other coolants
If a coolant known to meet the requirements of coolant
specifications shown in this manual is not available,
use either:
•
ethylene glycol or propylene glycol base prediluted
(40% to 60%) coolant
•
ethylene glycol or propylene glycol base coolant
concentrate in a 40% to 60% mixture of concentrate
with quality water
The coolant concentrate or prediluted coolant shall be
of a quality that provides cavitation protection to cast
iron and aluminum parts in the cooling system.
Water quality
Water quality is important to 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.
