Onan Gen coolant ??
What antifreeze do I use for my Onan generaot. I live in Ca, so no cold temps. Do I use a 50....50 mix, water and antifreeze? Thanks

Refer to Table 3 for scheduled maintenance. The engine cooling system is filled with a 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol anti-freeze and water when the genset leaves the factory, which is suitable for tem- peratures down to -34? F (-37? C).
Replace the coolant every two years. Use ethylene or propylene glycol anti-freeze solution that con- tains a rust and corrosion inhibitor. The anti-freeze should not contain a stop-leak additive.
The water used for engine coolant should be clean, low in minerals, and free of corrosive chemicals. Use distilled water if available. The cooling system has a 4.2 quart (4 l) capacity.
