Kubota L1500 Coolant and Engine Notes

Coolant capacity note The Kubota L1500 coolant spec points to 1.6 gal (6.1 L). Do not rely on the radiator-only amount if the full cooling-system capacity is available
Coolant type note Use the right coolant formula for the Kubota L1500: ethylene glycol-based coolant and Kubota Genuine Coolant. Cheap wrong coolant is not a smart saving if it causes corrosion or deposits
Antifreeze mix note The Kubota L1500 antifreeze mix is listed as 50/50 coolant and distilled water mix. That is the normal protection range for freezing, boiling and corrosion control
Refill note Coolant changes are simple but easy to do sloppily. On the Kubota L1500, plan around 1.6 gal (6.1 L) and confirm the final level after air works out of the system
