Trying to find the right coolant for my Cat 980G. It’s supposed to have Cat ELC but I’m not 100% sure if that’s what’s in there. I have a pic of what’s in it now, is that cat Elc? I expected more red than orange. Thanks, kind of a dumb question but I don’t wanna screw anything up.
I have seen some after-market ELC coolant that is more orange than red, so I suspect that is what you have, but the Cat ELC is definitely more red in color than that in your picture.
That’s not ELC. It should be bright red. Also it’s contaminated because it is cloudy. Coolant in good condition should be totally clear. Drain, flush a few times with water, then refill with your coolant of choice. There are plenty of equivalents to ELC on the market. Look on the Peak web site for one with a nitrite-based additive package. They sell both nitrite & nitrite-free but the latter is more for on-road engines rather than heavy equipment.
Sounds good thanks guys
Looks like Dexcool.
