Kubota M7-173 Coolant and Engine Notes
| Coolant capacity note | For service planning, the Kubota M7-173 should be treated as 3.1 gal (11.7 L) coolant capacity. That is a larger cooling system where you should buy extra coolant before draining it |
|---|---|
| Coolant type note | The captured coolant type for the Kubota M7-173 is ethylene glycol-based coolant, Kubota Genuine Coolant, and ASTM D3306 compatible. Do not mix unknown coolant types unless the label and manual say they are compatible |
| Antifreeze mix note | For the Kubota M7-173, the captured mix is 50/50 coolant and water mix. Straight water is not the right long-term answer unless you are only flushing the system |
| Engine context note | Engine context for the Kubota M7-173: engine model V3800, engine horsepower 175 hp (130.5 kW), and displacement 6.1 L (372.2 cu in). Engine size helps explain why coolant capacity changes between models |
| Refill note | For a coolant change on the Kubota M7-173, do not just dump in coolant and walk away. Fill slowly, run it up to temperature, cool it down and top up as needed |
