How often is this antifreeze to be changed?
Do you just replace what is in the bottle?
Never had a bagger with liquid cool capability's.
Thanks.

I think it's every couple of years......and there's a procedure where you take off a hose and  run the pump.......it's not hard but you should have the owners or service manual to do it correctly.....after it's done and you run it a few hundred miles be sure to check the coolant level......to make sure you get all the air bubbles out...

Owners manual says replace every 30K miles.
Ignorance is bliss, and accuracy expensive. How much of either can you afford?

Or with every water pump failure, whichever comes first. :angry:

you are correct, Sir......30K     'capacity is approx 1.1 qt'      I suspect my feeble gray matter was confusing it with the brake fluid change for ABS system ?.... I am coming up on 60K on my 16 FLTRU so that'll be on my winter maintenance list for the second time. And I've been lucky, so far, with my coolant pump :SM:
