• The Oil Condition Analysis determines the loss of
the oils lubricating properties. An infrared analysis
is used to compare the properties of new oil to the
properties of the used oil sample. This analysis
allows technicians to determine the amount of
deterioration of the oil during use. This analysis
also allows technicians to verify the performance
of the oil according to the specification during the
entire oil change interval.

General Coolant Information
REMARQUE
Ne jamais ajouter de liquide de refroidissement dans
un moteur qui a chauffé. Le moteur risque d'être en-
dommagé. Laisser le moteur refroidir au préalable.
REMARQUE
Si le moteur doit être remisé, ou expédié dans une ré-
gion où les températures sont inférieures au point de
gel, le circuit de refroidissement doit soit être protégé
en fonction de la température extérieure la plus
basse, soit être vidangé complètement, pour éviter
les dommages.
REMARQUE
Pour assurer une protection adéquate contre le gel et
l'ébullition, contrôler fréquemment la densité du li-
quide de refroidissement.
Clean the cooling system for the following reasons:
• Contamination of the cooling system
• Overheating of the engine
• Foaming of the coolant
REMARQUE
Il doit toujours y avoir un régulateur de température
d'eau (thermostat) dans le circuit de refroidissement.
Les thermostats contribuent à maintenir le liquide de
refroidissement du moteur à la température voulue.
En l'absence de thermostat, des problèmes de circuit
de refroidissement peuvent survenir.
Many engine failures are related to the cooling
system. The following problems are related to cooling
system failures: Overheating, leakage of the water
pump and plugged radiators or heat exchangers.
These failures can be avoided with correct cooling
system maintenance. Cooling system maintenance is
as important as maintenance of the fuel system and
the lubrication system. Quality of the coolant is as
important as the quality of the fuel and the lubricating
oil.
Coolant is normally composed of three elements:
Water, additives, and glycol.

Recommendations, M0113102 for additional

information that relates to coolant.
Water
Water is used in the cooling system to transfer heat.
Nota: The water must be used with an inhibitor to
protect the engine.
Distilled water or deionized water is
recommended for use in engine cooling systems.
DO NOT use the following types of water in cooling
systems: Hard water, softened water that has been
conditioned with salt and sea water.
If distilled water or deionized water is not available,
use water with the properties that are listed in Table 7
.

For a water analysis, consult one of the following
sources:
• Local water utility company
• Agricultural agent
• Independent laboratory
Additives
Additives help to protect the metal surfaces of the
cooling system. A lack of coolant additives or
insufficient amounts of additives enable the following
conditions to occur:
• Corrosion
• Formation of mineral deposits
• Rust
