Maintaining adequate concentrations of glycol and inhibiting additives in the coolant is critical to protect the engine and cooling system against freezing, corrosion, and cylinder liner erosion and pitting.
Test the coolant solution at intervals of 12 months or less and whenever excessive coolant is lost through leaks or overheating.
Coolant Test Strips
Coolant test strips are available from your John Deere dealer. These test strips provide a simple, effective method to check the freeze point and additive levels of your engine coolant.
