Chapter 6 COOLANT
LLC Concentration (GLASSY, PG GLASSY)
1. To prevent cavitations of water pump and cylinder liners, LLC concentration must be at least 30% for GLASSY
(ethylene glycol) and 40% for PG GLASSY (propylene glycol) by volume under any temperature conditions
throughout the year.
2. Coolant anti-freeze concentration for the engine is determined by the ambient minimum temperature throughout
the year. Be sure to observe the coolant anti-freeze concentration range given in the table below.
3. Concentration must be 60% at a maximum for GLASSY (ethylene glycol) and 85% for PG GLASSY (propylene
glycol). If concentration is higher than that, it can lead to a risk of adverse effects. For example, anti-freeze per-
formance will decrease. Or coolant temperature will rise due to the decrease in specific heat.
4. Coolant temperature will increase by approx. 1.5°C [34.7°F] for 60% concentration of GLASSY (ethylene glycol)
and approx 3°C [37.4°F] for 85% concentration of PG GLASSY (propylene glycol). Check heat exchanger capac-
ity of the cooling system to avoid overheating.
