The Cub Cadet 282 antifreeze mix is listed as 50/50 coolant and water mix. That is the normal protection range for freezing, boiling and corrosion control
Coolant change interval note
For the Cub Cadet 282, the service interval is listed as every 6,000 hours. Time matters too, not just engine hours
Engine context note
For the Cub Cadet 282, the supporting engine specs are engine horsepower 8 hp (6 kW) and displacement 0.3 L (19.4 cu in). Use them as context beside the coolant capacity, not as a replacement for the manual
Refill note
The practical service move for the Cub Cadet 282: buy enough coolant for 2.51 gal (9.5 L), fill to spec, run the engine, then recheck the radiator and overflow bottle after cooling
