Mecalac Tracked excavators, MC/MCR

Coolant capacity & service interval

Mecalac tracked excavators, MC/MCR models require coolant with a capacity range of 16 to 20 liters. Service intervals include checking every 8 hours and changing every 24 months or 2000 hours. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Mecalac 6MCR with Deutz TD2.9 (Stage IIIb / Tier 4i) and the 714 MC both share a 20-liter cooling system capacity, the largest figure across all four configurations listed.
  • The 8MCR with Deutz TCD2.9 (Stage IIIb / Tier 4i) holds 18 liters of coolant, placing it between the 10MCR at 16 liters and the two 20-liter configurations.
  • The 10MCR with Deutz TCD3.6 (Stage IIIb / Tier 4i) has the smallest cooling system capacity at 16 liters, which reflects the relative displacement difference between the TCD3.6 and the larger-capacity engines in the range.
  • All four configurations share an 8-hour coolant level check interval, a frequency consistent with daily pre-shift inspections on construction equipment operating in continuous-use environments.
  • The change interval across all four configurations is set at 24 months or 2,000 hours, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger format accounts for machines that accumulate calendar time without reaching the hour threshold, ensuring coolant degradation from age alone does not go unaddressed.
  • Stage IIIb and Tier 4i refer to equivalent European and North American emissions standards respectively, both requiring more tightly controlled engine temperatures. The cooling system capacities listed for the Deutz-engined MCR variants reflect the thermal management demands associated with those standards.
