Volvo Penta VCS Yellow Coolant 22567314 5L Ready Mixed

Part Information

What This Coolant Does

The 22567314 is genuine Volvo Penta VCS Yellow coolant an Organic Additive Technology (OAT) formulation developed for newer-generation Volvo Penta engines. It protects against freezing, overheating, corrosion, cavitation, and internal deposit build-up, with a four-year change interval that reduces routine maintenance. This coolant ships ready mixed at 40% concentration and is used directly from the container no water required.

Important: Do not mix VCS Yellow coolant with Volvo Penta Green coolant (22567233). The two formulations use incompatible additive packages. VCS Yellow coolant must not be used with a coolant filter this is the opposite of the green coolant system.

Technical FAQ

Can I use this coolant in an older Volvo Penta engine?
Only if that engine is specified for VCS Yellow / OAT coolant. Older engines may require Volvo Penta Green coolant instead. Using the wrong coolant type reduces corrosion protection. Confirm the correct specification in your engine service manual before ordering.

Do I need to mix this with water?
No. The 22567314 is ready mixed at 40% concentration. Use it directly from the container do not add water.

Can I use a coolant filter with VCS Yellow coolant?
No. Volvo Penta specifies that VCS Yellow coolant must not be used with a coolant filter. If your engine currently runs a coolant filter, verify the correct coolant specification for your system before switching.

What is the service life of this coolant?
Volvo Penta specifies a 4-year change interval under normal operating conditions. Replace earlier if the coolant becomes contaminated or if the system is drained for service.

Parts Desk Insights

The most frequent mix-up with this product is customers confusing VCS Yellow with the green coolant or with the VCS Yellow concentrate. The 22567314 is yellow, pre-mixed at 40%, and ready to use no dilution needed. The green coolant (22567233) is for older legacy engines and uses a completely different additive package; mixing the two degrades protection in both systems. The other common question is about coolant filter compatibility VCS Yellow should not be used with a coolant filter, which surprises customers familiar with the green coolant system. When a customer is unsure which coolant their engine requires, the engine service manual or Volvo Penta parts documentation for their serial number is the correct reference.
