Shibaura CM series

Coolant capacity & service interval

Shibaura CM series coolant capacity ranges from 3,5 to 6,5 liters. Service intervals include 10 hours for checks and 12 months for changes. The data covers 5 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • The Shibaura CM series cooling system capacities range from 3.5 liters on the CM214 to 6.5 liters on the CM274, CM304, and CM354, reflecting the differences in engine displacement across the model lineup.
  • The CM214 carries a 3.5-liter cooling system capacity, the smallest in the CM series, which corresponds to a smaller engine block requiring less coolant volume to maintain operating temperature.
  • The CM224, produced from 2000-2008, holds 5.5 liters of coolant, placing a clear step between the CM214 and the larger-capacity models in the series.
  • The CM274, CM304, and CM354 all share an identical 6.5-liter cooling system capacity despite being distinct model configurations, indicating a common cooling system architecture across those three variants.
  • All five CM series configurations specify a coolant check interval of every 10 hours of operation under normal use conditions, a notably short interval consistent with the demands of compact utility or agricultural equipment.
  • The coolant change interval across all CM series models is set at 12 months under normal use conditions, meaning service is tied to elapsed calendar time rather than operating hours alone.
  • The CM214 is the only model in the CM series with a production start year of 1998, while the CM224, CM274, CM304, and CM354 all share a 2000 start year, resulting in a two-year gap in the introduction of the larger-capacity configurations.
