>> 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?
