Coolant - Diesel Forum

I did a search and see that this topic could be contested, but what coolant should I use? I went to get my new water pump from NAPA this morning and the guy asked about antifreeze. I froze. I could remember seeing something in the 50 or so pages I read about what type, brand and sca levels, but it all left me as sson as he asked the question.

So instead of looking at the prior search results you want to get the debate going again??

Personally I use Fleetguard from the International dealer and add the proper level of FW-16 to get the SCA levels correct.

Search through this information from Steve. He has a section on coolant and what is okay to use in PSD. I went with Texaco because it was easiest to find.
