Emery,
What is your opinion on the commercial grade "ELC" coolants used in the big diesels? Any benefit to us in our coaches?
These coolants are rated for a life span of +/- 600,000 miles, 12,000 hours, or 6 years. Some are marked "OAT" for organic acid technology.
They claim to have improved heat transfer rates and have no silicates so they are supposed to reduce or eliminate scale and deposits common to regular coolants.
I am in the process of installing a coolant filter and the "ELC" coolant in my 2008 F250 diesel and was wondering if there would be any advantage or benefit to doing the same on my coach. I will probably convert all my vehicles to this same coolant so i only need to keep one coolant on hand. It reduces risk of mixing the wrong coolants.
Your thoughts?
