petehall12 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 On my 2004 AMI370 what color coolant should I be using. It has a coolant filter on it it is a Baldwin BW5178. I am currently using red antifreeze. I have read conflicting information so I figured I would ask the experts.

R.E.D Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Is coolant filter an add on type?.. reason I ask is because these engines rarely came with the factory filter because they were meant to use bulldog extended life coolant.

R.E.D Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 If you have these two plugs (see picture ) then it's probably a filter someone added ,as these two plugs are the mount for the factory filter(coolant conditioner) Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73093-coolant-question/#findComment-535639 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I am asking questions. I don’t want to have corrosion issues.

Joey Mack Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 The coolant is red ELC. The filter kits that the dealership has, comes with 2 bags of coolant conditioning powder.. maybe take a look at that kit and the instructions.. jojo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73093-coolant-question/#findComment-535652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
