The Thermo King S-600 Diesel Engine is equipped with a four-cylinder water-cooled, direct injection diesel engine. Below are the service intervals and important information for maintaining optimal performance:

Diesel Engine:

• The engine is water-cooled and directly coupled to the compressor on standard units.
• On Smart Power units, a centrifugal clutch transfers power from the engine to the compressor.
• Belts transmit power to the AC generator, water pump, and alternator.

Extended Life Coolant (ELC):

• ELC is standard equipment.
• Maintenance interval for ELC is five years or 12,000 hours.
• A nameplate on the coolant expansion tank identifies units with ELC.
• Chevron Extended Life Coolant is RED in color (not GREEN or BLUE-GREEN).

NOTICE: System Contamination! Do not add “GREEN” or “BLUE-GREEN” conventional coolant to cooling systems using “RED” Extended Life Coolant, except in an emergency. If conventional coolant is added to Extended Life Coolant, the coolant must be changed after 2 years instead of 5 years.

Note: The use of 50/50 percent pre-mixed Extended Life Coolant (ELC) is recommended to assure that de-ionized water is being used. If 100 percent full strength concentrate is used, de-ionized or distilled water is recommended over tap water to ensure the integrity of the cooling system is maintained.

EMI 3000 Package:

The EMI 3000 is an extended maintenance interval package that includes the following key components:

• EMI 3000-Hour Cyclonic Air Cleaner Assembly and Air Cleaner Element.
• EMI 3000-Hour 5-Micron Fuel Filter.
• EMI 3000-Hour Dual Element Oil Filter (blue with white lettering).
• API Rating CJ-4 or CK-4 Oil.
• Five Year or 12,000 Hour Extended Life Coolant (ELC).

The EMI package allows standard maintenance intervals to be extended to 3,000 hours, or 2 years, whichever occurs first.

The TriPac Evolution APU was designed with an unequaled 2,000-hour maintenance interval, allowing for maintenance to be performed typically only once per year. This schedule aligns better with the tractor maintenance schedule, saving time and eliminating additional downtime for APU maintenance.

APU Maintenance Interval:

Specifications	Details
Engine	TK270F (Tier 4)
Fuel Type	No. 2 Diesel fuel under normal conditions No. 1 Diesel fuel is acceptable cold weather fuel
Oil Capacity: Crankcase & Oil Filter	6.5 quarts (6.15 liters) maximum
Oil Type	API Type CK-4 multigrade oil. FA-4 is not approved. API Synthetic Type CK-4 multigrade oil is required for units equipped with the optional DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter)
Oil Viscosity	5 to 104 F (-15 to 40 C): SAE 15W-40 -4 to 86 F (-20 to 30 C): SAE 10W-30
Coolant System Capacity (TriPac engine only)	0.6 quarts (0.6 liters) / 2.75 quarts (2.60 liters) with Closed Loop Cooling
Engine Thermostat	160 F (71 C)

NOTICE: Use fuel suitable for the climate you operate in (see truck engine manufacturer’s recommendations). Blending used engine oil with diesel fuel is not permitted in the TriPac system. It will plug the filters and will not allow the air heater to run properly. Thermo King reserves the right to void all warranty on the unit.

Important: The port on top of the engine should not be used to add engine oil. Always add oil through the lower port on the timing gear cover to prevent engine lock-up and/or serious internal damage. Approximately 1.5 quarts (1.4 liters) is required to move the oil level from the lower line (5.1 quarts [4.8 liters]) to the upper line (6.5 quarts [6.2 liters]) on the dipstick.
