CAT ELC Coolant

[acampingwewillgo]

Hi
Im contemplating doing my own Coolant change on the MH. I had CAT ELC put in about 6 years ago and figure its about time to change that out?? Any words of wisdom on doing this? I believe last time I had it done, it was the concentrate not the 50/50 mixture..it took roughly 10 gallons? I checked my local Diesel part dealer today, they carry the Delo concentrate at 12.00+/- a gallon but obviously I want the CAT ELC...havent called my local CAT dealer yet....approx cost?
Thanks for any info

I just bought a gallon of Cat ELC premixed for $18.73 at a heavy truck repair place (not a Cat dealer).

Hmmmm.....Gee and I thought that Delo was high. Oh well, good thing you only have to do this every once in awhile. Thanks for the info

Buy the ELC concentrate at CAT and dilute with distilled water. That is what I did.

Dwight,

CAT ELC is manufactured by Chevron under the Delo ELC name. It is the exact same formula without the large CAT markup.
