Engine displacement
5.9 L | 359 cu in
Capacity note
For the Case IH MX135, the listed cooling system capacity is 4.9 gal | 18.5 L. Buy slightly more coolant than the exact capacity so you have enough for topping off after air burps out.
Mixture note
Use the coolant type listed above and match the antifreeze/water mix to the operator manual and local freezing conditions.
Radiator cap note
The radiator cap pressure listed for the Case IH MX135 is 13 psi | 90 kPa. Do not replace it with a random cap unless the pressure rating matches.
Refill note
Refill slowly, run the tractor until warm with the heater circuit open if fitted, let it cool, then recheck the coolant level. Never remove a hot radiator cap under pressure.
Case IH MX135 Coolant FAQs
How much coolant does a Case IH MX135 take?
The Case IH MX135 takes 4.9 gal | 18.5 L of coolant. That is about normal for the utility tractor benchmark shown here, so plan it like a standard drain-and-refill rather than a tiny top-up.
Is the Case IH MX135 coolant capacity normal?
Yes, 4.9 gal | 18.5 L lands about where you would expect for this tractor category. The main thing is buying enough for a complete refill plus a small top-off amount.
How many coolant jugs do I need for a Case IH MX135?
This is a manageable refill amount. A 4.9 gal | 18.5 L system needs about 5 one-gallon containers if you are using premixed coolant. If using concentrate at a 50/50 mix, plan on about 2.4 gal of concentrate and 2.4 gal of distilled water. In metric terms, that is roughly 4 x 5 L containers for a full premix refill.
Can I mix coolant types in a Case IH MX135?
Because the listed coolant is extended-life OAT coolant, the clean move is to stay with the same approved chemistry. Do not casually mix it with old green conventional coolant; if the old coolant type is unknown, flush first or confirm what is already in the system.
Can I use a different radiator cap on a Case IH MX135?
The listed cap pressure is 13 psi | 90 kPa. That higher-pressure cap helps raise the boiling point, but only if the radiator neck, hoses and overflow path are in good shape. A weak cap or damaged seat can still cause coolant loss.
When should the Case IH MX135 coolant be changed?
Use whichever limit comes first for the Case IH MX135: every 6,000 hours or 6 years. Low-hour tractors can still age out on time, because corrosion protection gets weaker even when the coolant still looks clean.
Official information note
Mistakes do happen. Coolant specs can change by year, engine, market, radiator option and coolant chemistry. Check the operator manual, parts book and official caseih.com website before draining, flushing or refilling the cooling system.
