[Sojourner]

This is downloading of "Detroit Coolant Selections" brochure.
This addition to your engine manual....many of our "coolant" posts are answered.

On page 20 to 21 (22 to 23 PDF) discuss about "SUMMARY OF COOLANT RECOMMENDATIONS"

Also when to replace coolant after submitting the sample in a DDC Power Trac Coolant Test Bottle.

Good evening Jerry,

Thank you for this post.  You always have such good stuff for us.  Keep the 'em coming!

I have been running Fleet Guard - I probably should check the label - just to make sure...

Thank you kindly Phil!

This SCA additive is only apply to wet sleeve diesel engine.
I believe only 2-cycle DD has dry sleeve are 6-71 & 8-71 bus series. 6-92 & 8-92 are wet sleeve as well most modern diesel.
So "dry-sleeve" can use regular glycol antifreeze such as gasoline engine.

FWIW
