Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze Cooling System Maintenance
Use only Caterpillar products or commercial products that have passed Caterpillar's EC-1 specification for premixed or concentrated coolants.Use only Caterpillar Extender with Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze.Mixing Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze with other products reduces the Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze service life. Failure to follow the recommendations included in this section can reduce cooling system component life.
In order to maintain the correct balance of antifreeze and additives, care should be taken to maintain the proper Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze concentration. Reducing the amount of antifreeze lowers the proportion of additive, thus lowering the coolant's ability to protect the cooling system from pitting, cavitation, erosion, and deposits.Proper Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze Additions
DO NOT add Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze Concentrate as a makeup solution for routine cooling system top-off. Adding concentrated Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze increases the concentration of glycol in the cooling system.During normal maintenance, use a premixed solution of approved water and Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze as a top-off to the cooling system to bring the coolant to the proper level. Use Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze or a coolant that meets Caterpillar's EC-1 specification. If a coolant that meets EC-1 is not available, use distilled or de-ionized water as a make-up. Check the glycol level of the cooling system with the 1U-7298 Coolant Tester (°C) or the 1U-7297 Coolant Tester (°F). Use Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze Concentrate to restore the proper glycol concentration before the engine is exposed to freezing temperatures.
Do not use conventional coolant to top off a cooling system using Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze.Do not use supplemental coolant additives other than extender in cooling systems filled with Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze.
If a cooling system using Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze has been topped off with a small amount of conventional coolant or if a supplemental coolant additive was added to the system by mistake, the system will not be harmed.Should the cooling system become contaminated with conventional coolant or supplemental coolant additive exceeding 10 percent of the cooling system's total capacity, perform one of the following actions: * Drain the cooling system and refill the cooling system with Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze, or* Maintain the cooling system as if the cooling system is filled with conventional coolant.Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze Cooling System Cleaning
No cleaning agents are to be used when a cooling system using Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze is drained, flushed, and refilled.Clean water is the only system cleaning/flushing agent required when Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze is drained from the cooling system.Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze can be recycled. The drained coolant mixture can be distilled to separate the ethylene glycol and water for reuse. Contact your Caterpillar dealer for more information.After draining and refilling the cooling system, operate the engine with the radiator filler cap removed until the coolant reaches normal operating temperature and the coolant level stabilizes. Add coolant mixture as necessary to fill the system to the proper level.Converting a Cooling System from Conventional Coolant to Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze
When the coolant is changed from conventional coolant to Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze, a Caterpillar cleaner should be used. After the use
