Ok, here's the deal. I found these on our old server, and since there was a current discussion, I had a hair up my butt and wanted them back out. We put some of our articles up here as "sticky's" and closed them. Maybe not so good of an idea.
Now to your issues. First, it looks like I need to add a few things. You cannot use RMI with ELC as the chemical composition is not compatible. You should not be adding any SCAs to ELCs either for the same reason. The ELC's already have an additive package and the inhibitor package is screwed up with the addition of something else. So, in a nutshell, if you believe it's ok to use ELCs (please, I can't enter that argument), but are adding SCAs to the mix, you might just have a chemical composition similar to mud
when your done.
SCA additives are ONLY to be added to green coolant. Adding them to Gold goolant will not cause the chemical goop that ELCs will, but it will simply overdose the system, and I've covered that.
Reference:
ELC = Extended Life Coolant (Organic Acid based) - Red and Orange coolants
SCA = Supplimental Coolant Additive (Fw-16, DCA4)
