Information:
Note: Add the Cat® ELC Extender at the halfway point of the coolant change interval.Note: These drain intervals are only possible with annual Level 2 coolant analysis.Glycol
Glycol in the coolant helps to provide protection against the following conditions:
Boiling
Freezing
Cavitation of the water pump and cylinder linersFor optimum performance, Caterpillar recommends a 1:1 mixture of a water/glycol solution.Note: Use a mixture that will provide protection against the lowest ambient temperature.Note: 100 percent pure glycol will freeze at a temperature of −23 °C (−9 °F). Refer to tables 5 and 6for additional information.Most conventional heavy-duty coolant/antifreezes use ethylene glycol. Propylene glycol may also be used. In a 1:1 mixture with water, ethylene and propylene glycol provide similar protection against freezing and boiling. Refer to tables 5 and 6 for additional information.

Do not use propylene glycol in concentrations that exceed 50 percent glycol because of propylene glycol's reduced heat transfer capability. Use ethylene glycol in conditions that require additional protection against boiling or freezing.

106 °C (223 °F) To check the concentration of glycol, use the 1U-7298 Coolant/Battery Tester (Degree Celsius) or use the 1U-7297 Coolant/Battery Tester (Degree Fahrenheit). The testers give readings that are immediate and accurate. The testers can be used with ethylene or propylene glycol.Note: Propylene glycol coolant used in Caterpillar Diesel Engine cooling systems must meet "ASTM D6211-98a "Fully-Formulated Propylene Glycol-Based Engine Coolant for Heavy-Duty Engines". When Propylene glycol is used in heavy-duty diesel engines, the regular addition of Supplemental Coolant Additive (SCA) is required for protection against liner cavitation. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for more information.S O S Coolant Analysis

( 1 ) The Level 2 Coolant Analysis should be performed sooner if a problem is identified by a Level 1 Coolant Analysis.Testing the engine coolant is important to ensure that the engine is protected from internal cavitation and from corrosion. The analysis also tests the ability of the coolant to protect the engine from boiling and from freezing. The S O S Coolant Analysis can be done at your Caterpillar dealer. Caterpillar S O S Coolant Analysis is the best way to monitor the condition of your coolant and your cooling system. S O S Coolant Analysis is a program that is based on periodic samples.Refer to Special Publication, SEBU6385, "Caterpillar On-highway Diesel Truck Engine Fluids Recommendations" for additional information.Refill Capacity (Coolant System)
