Cub Cadet RZT S42 Coolant and Engine Notes
Coolant capacity note
The Cub Cadet RZT S42 coolant spec points to 0.63 gal (2.4 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 Cub Cadet RZT S42: ethylene glycol-based coolant. Cheap wrong coolant is not a smart saving if it causes corrosion or deposits
Antifreeze mix note
The 50/50 coolant and water mix mix gives the Cub Cadet RZT S42 coolant system a sensible balance of freeze protection, boil protection and corrosion protection
Engine context note
The Cub Cadet RZT S42 engine data captured here is engine horsepower 22 hp (16.4 kW) and displacement 0.7 L (44.2 cu in). Bigger engines usually need more coolant and more careful refill bleeding
Refill note
Coolant changes are simple but easy to do sloppily. On the Cub Cadet RZT S42, plan around 0.63 gal (2.4 L) and confirm the final level after air works out of the system
