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.
Compatible Applications
Designed for newer-generation Volvo Penta engines specified for VCS Yellow / OAT coolant. Confirm the correct coolant type using the Volvo Penta service manual or parts documentation for your specific model and serial number before ordering.
- Volvo Penta D1 series marine diesel engines
- Volvo Penta D2 series marine diesel engines
- Newer Volvo Penta diesel engine families specified for VCS Yellow / OAT coolant
- Engines previously filled with superseded part number 21485014
Do not use in engines specified for Volvo Penta Green coolant. Always verify the correct specification before ordering.
Service Interval
Volvo Penta specifies a 4-year change interval for VCS Yellow coolant. Replace sooner if the coolant becomes contaminated, discoloured, or if the cooling system is drained for major service.
When to Replace
- Every 4 years as part of routine maintenance
- Coolant is contaminated, discoloured, or shows signs of degradation
- After any cooling system repair, flush, or major service requiring draining
- When switching from an older coolant specification to current VCS Yellow
Installation Notes
- Ready mixed at 40% — use directly from the container, do not add water
- Do not mix with Volvo Penta Green coolant (22567233) under any circumstances
- Do not use with a coolant filter (21192875) — Volvo Penta specifies VCS Yellow is not compatible with coolant filter use
- When changing coolant types or servicing a contaminated system, follow the Volvo Penta cooling-system cleaning and filling procedure for your engine model
- Dispose of used coolant in accordance with local environmental regulations

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.
