There are more than a handful of ways to test a coolant, but Shelly is adamant that fleets lean most heavily on two, a properly calibrated refractometer and test strips. The way to properly check that is to utilize a refractometer. We work with our fleets to make sure that there's a section on their PM worksheets that includes bullet points to inspect their cooling system, such as making sure you're checking your freeze point to make sure it is adequate and that you're not out of balance with the amount of water to glycol to start with because that is the number one critical physical property of the coolant. The way that we approach coolant maintenance, or I approach coolant maintenance, is really to encourage year round coolant maintenance, including it into your normal PM process. A good fundamental PM program is a year round thing, but as the seasons change, the demand on a truck system and its components also changes making at least a seasonal checkup a good idea. It's a misnomer that there's a seasonal component to maintenance. I'm Jason Cannon and my co-host on the other side is Matt Cole. Hey everybody, happy Black Friday and welcome back to the 10-44 a weekly webisode from the editors here at CCJ. Are your trucks ready for the changing of the seasons? Temperatures are dropping faster than spot market rates. Transcript This week's 10-44 is brought to you by Chevron Delo 600 ADF ultra-low ash diesel engine oil. Patented formula, with Contamination Tolerant Additives (CTAs), can be mixed with in any proportion with other coolants with no detrimental effect to corrosion protection.Chevron Lubricants Commercial Fleets Business Consultant Shelly Eckert, who joins Jason and Matt on this week's 10-44, said while a good maintenance program isn't necessarily tied to the changing of the seasons, there's no time like the present to give your coolant system a thorough checkup.Ĭontents of this episode 00:00 Coolant maintenance.Eliminates the need for SCAs (Supplemental Coolant Additives), chemically charged filters and inhibitor testing, saving time and money.Meets the nitrite-free requirements of Detroit Diesel 93K217 specification.When required, top-off the cooling system with FINAL CHARGE concentrate or FINAL CHARGE(R) Global Extended Life 50/50 Pre-Diluted Coolant/Antifreeze and maintain the freeze point between -23 Degree F and -62 Degree F in the cooling system.įINAL CHARGE Global Extended Life Coolant/Antifreeze is a phosphate-free, silicate-free, nitrite-free and borate-free, globally formulated coolant which uses proprietary organic corrosion inhibitors to provide outstanding long-term wet sleeve liner cavitation and corrosion protection of all cooling system metals. ![]() This can be achieved by adding FINAL CHARGE Extender after 300,000 miles of on-road use (3 years or 6,000 hours of off-highway use). To maintain the protection provided by FINAL CHARGE Global Extended Life Coolant/Antifreeze, the proper level of FINAL CHARGE coolant's patented inhibitor system must be present. Coolant/Antifreeze FINAL CHARGE(R) Global Extended Life Coolant/Antifreeze features a patented Organic Acid Technology (OAT) that delivers total cooling system protection for 600,000 miles of on-road use (6 years of 12,000 hours or off-highway use) without the use of Supplemental Coolant Additives (SCAs).
