However, keep in mind what Hammer said about what Ford thinks. I am aware of some PSD fleets that exclusively use these coolants under extreme conditions without any problems whatsoever. It meets the specification of other high-revving V-8 diesels made by CAT, Detroit, Mack, etc. And it will even have a longer shelf life. It will require less maintenance and testing. With the absense of silicates, it will have a more robust inhibitor and SCA package, and it will sustain heavy duty use over longer periods of time without losing it's effectiveness.

It will be free of the abrasive silicates, phosphates, and borates that can cause cooling system and water pump failure. The red Rotella ELC is practically identical to the red Texaco ELC that International used as factory fill for their T444E in a variety of applications. Re-test the coolant by using Shell Rotella ELC Test Strips to ensure that the coolant now meets acceptable Rotella ELC additive level of above 80%.I agree with Hammer.

Drain and refillĭrain and refill with fresh Shell Rotella® ELC NF Pre-diluted 50/50 coolant. Using Shell Rotella® ELC Correction FluidĪdd Shell Rotella® ELC Correction Fluid (URL) to the existing Shell Rotella ELC NF coolant after the negative result to raise the Rotella ELC additive to an acceptable level of above 80%. **Positive result indicates that the coolant contains Rotella ELC additive technology above 80%, which is effective for engine/cooling system protection. Please follow the option 1 or 2 to return the coolant back to its acceptable additive level.

A negative result indicates that the coolant is not suitable for use due to possible presence of non-Rotella ELC coolant technology. A positive result indicates the coolant is suitable for continued use. Test 3: Use Rotella ELC Test Strips at 1,000,000 miles. Test 2: Use Rotella ELC Test Strips at 800,000 miles. A positive result** indicates the coolant is suitable for continued use. Test 1: Use Shell approved test strips, Shell Rotella ELC Test Strips ( ), at 600,000 miles. *Always follow OEM coolant drain intervals. The following list is recommended practice to ensure the coolant would provide the optimal performance up to 1,200,000 miles. Please be advised that testing existing coolant is recommended to confirm product integrity (contamination with other coolant chemistry). Shell Rotella® ELC NF offers an extended life operation up to 1,200,000 miles in Class 8 over the road operation*. It is also a very popular choice by end customers for service fill application. Rotella® ELC NF has been approved by major OEMs to use in many modern on- and off-highway engines and chosen by car, truck and equipment manufactures for factory fill.

Shell Rotella® ELC Nitrite Free (Rotella® ELC NF) is using one of the most proven extended life coolant (ELC) technologies and is specifically formulated to meet more severe operational conditions of modern, hotter-running and aluminum-rich cooling systems.
