SVV65 radiator fluid

[pwhite42]

What type of radiator fluid do you use in a SVV65 skid-steer? I have looked through the manual and all it says is not to mix different types. Thanks.

I don't have a spec sheet, but what color do you have on it now?

Green.

Then I'd run traditional green coolant. I'd buy the 50/50 pre mix, then you know it was pure water it was blended with.

The yellow "universal" "long run" or gold color would be fine to run, too.

I would not run red or orange without a drain (and maybe flush) first.

You can buy "concentrate" and blend with your own water (50/50 blend), but only if it isn't super hard water, or softened water.

green will work but may I suggest Peak Final Charge, good stuff i think 7 year change cycle. better with dissimular metals that diesel engines now have.

I will look for it tomorrow. Tractor Supply had the red stuff when I went today.

I agree, final charge is probably the "best" stuff out there... But depends what you're doing. Just topping off? Buy green. Flush and fill? Final charge is great

Topping off.
