Summary from earlier in this thread.
Okay, I printed out this message thread, read it carefully,
highlighted which coolants Gooch recommended, and after
culling data, here is what I came up with...
"There are Heavy Duty Extended Life Coolants (ELC)
specifically designed for diesels. "
From this message thread:
CAT ELC
Chevron Delo ELC
International's Fleetrite ELC
Mobil 1 ELC
Prestone Heavy Duty ELC
Shell Rotella ELC
Almost all heavy duty diesel manufacturers use Heavy Duty ELC's
meeting the most strict requirements in the industry...Caterpillar's EC-1.
For reference, here are some TLA's used in this message thread:
ELC - Extended Life Coolant
G-05 - Ford's Gold (universal) coolant
HD - Heavy Duty
IDI - Intenational Diesel?
PSD - International T444E Powerstroke (Ford Powerstroke)
RMI - RMI-25
SCA - Supplemental Coolant Additive
