There should be a difference between a Spartan chassis and FL. If a Spartan a call would be my suggestion and if FL another call. This can be very important item. If using wrong Antifreeze you can serious damage to your engine.

Freightliner uses Fleet Charge coolant. The test strips I use come in a pack of 4. (Don't buy in bulk as they have a limited life.) Fleetguard CC2602A.

Tom has the advise to follow. My 2015 had Shell Rotella fully formulated w SCA but I've heard it's just not the same every year. Your chassis mfg will have the answer you can trust.

Well I did like someone said and call FL . They said it was shell AT but any SCA antifreeze will work any brand. Thanks for the help.
