Kubota L5240 HSTC, JD X738 Mower, (Kubota L3130 HST - sold)
The Grand L5240 with cab in my sig. Overdue for a coolant flush and fill. I'm always a bit wary of coolants these days as there are so many types and mixing some of them can create big problems. I THINK Kubota uses regular old green coolant, like classic Prestone, that has been around since dirt was invented, but I wanted to check here to verify before I commit.

The manual is a bit vague saying to use "Long Life Coolant, Ethylene glycol type" but doesn't talk about IAT or ELC or any of the other acronyms used to describe coolant types.

Please enlighten me.
Thanks,
Dave

You are correct.
OEM fill is plain old green.
Others will suggest newer long life coolants,but green will be fine.
Good Luck!
