The cooling system is a pressurized coolant forced
circulation type which consists of water pump,
thermostat, cooling fan, radiator and other components. The circulating coolant cools the lubricating oil in the oil
cooler and turbocharger.

ANTI-FREEZE SOLUTION
Relation between Mixing ratio and Freezing point
Freezing temperature of the engine coolant varies
with the ratio of anti-freeze solution in water.
Proper mixing ratio can be determined by refering
to the chart. Supplemental inhibitors or additives
claiming to increase cooling capability that have not
been specifically approved by Isuzu are not
recommended for addition to the cooling system.
Calculation of mixing ratio
Mixing ratio (%)
=Anti-freeze solution (Lit/qt.)
100
Anti-freeze solution (Lit/qt.) + Water (Lit/qt.)
For example
In case total coolant capacity = 10

It is necessary to mix about 35% anti-freeze
solution at ambient temperature minus 20°C.
Capacity of anti-freeze solution:
35
10 = 3.5 100
Water capacity: 10
– 3.5 = 6.5 
Therefore, you prepare the water 6.5 and anti-
freeze solution 3.5
, then mix them to get total
10
coolant.
Mixing ratio
Check the specific gravity of engine coolant in the
cooling system in temperature ranges from 0° C to
50° C using a suction type hydrometer, then
determine the density of the coolant by referring to
the table at below.
