Thermostat
The thermostat is a wax pellet type and consists of two
units, in which one unit (bottom bypass type) has an
valve initial opening temperature of 82 °C (180 °F) and
the second (inline type) has an valve initial opening
temperature of 85 °C (185 °F). It is designed such that
the water temperature can be adjusted finely and it is
mounted within the thermostat-housing unit.

Coolant
1. About the engine coolant concentration
• Take the concentration corresponding to the
minimum temperature because the freezing
temperature varies according to the
concentration of the engine coolant.
• Use only genuine Isuzu engine coolant.
• Use engine coolant with a mix ratio in the range
of 30 to 60% because over heating is likely to
occur if the ratio is greater than 60% and
corrosion prevention is inadequate if the ratio is
less than 30%.

2. Radiator
• Fix the temperature of the cooling water being

measured in the range of 0 to 50 °C (32 to 122 °F).
• Measure the temperature and specific gravity and
determine the concentration from the table given
below.

2. Engine coolant density measurement

Methods for measuring specific gravity
• Measure the specific gravity and the temperature
of the cooling water using an anti-freeze specific
gravity meter and thermometer.
Take precautionary measures as the boiled cooling
water may gush out at high temperatures if the cap
is removed.
• Use a deep container to suit the height of the Coolant scooping method
specific gravity meter. • Measure the concentration using the coolant scoop.
