2008 Jinma 284 Anti-Freeze & Engione Cylinder Sleeving

[MadMopar]

Does anyone know what type of anti-freeze is used in the Jinma 284?

I have a manual that says to use regular 50/50 coolant.

But I'm hearing about diesel anti-Freeze.

The difference is whether the engine is a wet sleeve or dry sleeve cylinders. Does anyone know what these Jinma's have as far as type of sleeve used?

Thanks for any help/info.

Further Info:

After talking to the good folks at Affordable Tractor, I'm about 99% sure that the sleeves are dry.

This means that regular anti-freeze (50/50) is used in the engine and agrees with what thin info is in my manuals.

The Y385T is a dry sleeved engine,50/50 Anti-freeze will work fine

Hi again Tommy.

My manual for the engine says Y85 on the front.

Do I 'assume' that it is the Y385(T??)?

Do I also 'assume' that the 3 stands for 3 cylinder? Can't figure out the 'T' unless it stands for "tractor"

Thanks for confirming what I thought.

There's at least three versions of this engine, may be more that I don't know about:
Y385= three cylinder, 8.5 cm bore (1.5 liter displacement)
Y395= three cylinder, 9.5 cm bore (2.15 liter displacement)
Y485= four cylinder, 8.5 cm bore (2 liter displacement)

They all share a lot of parts. Except when they don't.

remember, 'diesel' af has sca/dca addatives.. so not only does it protect against cavitation.. but electrolysis too.

not a bad idea to use that addative! cheap and can't hurt.

Kinda thought that the 3 stood for cylinder numbers.

Seems to be hard to find. Of course, I was looking in the 'city', instead out in the 'rural' parts stores.

+10 on what Soundguy says. You can actually fortify regular ethylene glycol antifreze by adding a bottle of DCA4 (available at truck stops or dealers of new trucks) to your antifreeze. Thats SOP with me in all my water cooled engines, gas or diesel. Keeps the radiator clean and prevents electrolysis.
