Kubota L1-385 Coolant and Engine Notes

Coolant capacity note For the Kubota L1-385, 2.17 gal (8.2 L) is the main coolant capacity captured. Use it as a refill planning number, then confirm the final level at the machine
Radiator capacity note Radiator capacity is listed as 2.17 gal (8.2 L). The full cooling system can be higher because coolant also sits in the engine and hoses
Coolant type note Use the right coolant formula for the Kubota L1-385: 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 distilled water mix mix gives the Kubota L1-385 coolant system a sensible balance of freeze protection, boil protection and corrosion protection
Engine context note The Kubota L1-385 engine data captured here is engine horsepower 38.3 hp (28.6 kW) and displacement 2.2 L (134.3 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 Kubota L1-385, plan around 2.17 gal (8.2 L) and confirm the final level after air works out of the system
