Add Coolant Conditioner
All water is corrosive at engine operating temperature. Use either Caterpillar Cooling System Conditioner, or Coolant Conditioner Element to treat either plain water or ethylene glycol antifreeze solution. Never use both the cooling system conditioner and the coolant conditioner element at the same time.Do not use Caterpillar Cooling System Conditioner or Coolant Conditioner Elements with Dowtherm 209 Full-Fill coolant. Follow recommendations provided with Dowtherm 209 Full-Fill coolant. Refer to "Cooling System Specifications" section of this manual before adding conditioner.
Add 1.0 liter (1 quart) of Caterpillar Cooling System Conditioner for each 152 liters (40 U.S. gallons) of coolant capacity. This will maintain the required 3% to 6% concentration of conditioner.
