Radiator Flush Cleaner

Good day fellow IRV2'ers,
I am planning to flush the radiator on my 2008 Newmar Kountry Star with the ISL400 HP diesel engine. I have seen several post on how to perform it, but do not see any mention on the radiator flush cleaner/chemical used - i.e. like Prestone Flush and Cleaner. Any recommendations for this to be used on a diesel side radiator?


Best Regards
Dutch Master

I don't trust additives,.....I'm "old school". If it's under-performing due to clogging from mineral deposits, I remove it and take it to a radiator shop for thorough cleaning.

Try



Fleetguard Cummins Restore Coolant System Cleaner Gallon - CC2610



Caterpillar - Cleaner-Cooling System 4C-4611


For every 10 gallons of coolant capacity a gallon of flush is used. Detailed instructions are on the jug.

I also used the Fleetguard system cleaner. Also need to flush the complete system and not just the radiator.
