A little coolant drain n fill on the L today. Super easy with the Schwaben vacuum tool!
Nice! I meant to thank you for the link to the Schwaben vacuum tool that you posted in another thread. I did in fact order one as I said I would. I hope that ECS Tuning is sending you some kickbacks for sending traffic their way.A little coolant drain n fill on the L today. Super easy with the Schwaben vacuum tool!

Some friends bought me a $100 gift certificate from the local Kubota dealership so I'll be picking up a couple of gallons of Kubota coolant this week. With any luck I'll be changing the coolant in the MX this weekend, or next week at the latest. The M will be due for a change in the next month or so as well.I wish they would! Lol!
I still pulled the lower radiator hose to fully drain the system. Even then, about a pint came out of the tool exhaust port.
I'll be interested to know how much the MX takes. My little L calls for 6 quarts but it only took a gallon. To be honest, I did not look for a drain on the block. Working on a lot of Ford trucks, I know a good bit will hide in there. But, like my vehicles, I stay on top of maintenance. So if another 2 quarts are in the block then I'm not worried about it.Some friends bought me a $100 gift certificate from the local Kubota dealership so I'll be picking up a couple of gallons of Kubota coolant this week.

The spec sheets states 6.9 quarts which is surprisingly low. The M holds 8.5 quarts supposedly. I stopped by the dealer this morning and had forgotten that they don't stock Kubota engine coolant. They sell NAPA premixed which is the same thing according to the parts and service counter.I'll be interested to know how much the MX takes. My little L calls for 6 quarts but it only took a gallon.

Probably the same as Asian Green. Not to be confused with Soylent Green. I was going to switch to this, but didn't want to mix and didn't have time to flush it several times.The spec sheets states 6.9 quarts which is surprisingly low. The M holds 8.5 quarts supposedly.

This is the stuff that the local Kubota dealer sells. NAPA had some stipulations re pricing, and so it's $13.99 a gallon at the dealership.Probably the same as Asian Green.
