hey guys i'm gonna be changing mine soon on the truck &amp; on our van &amp; was wondering what you all use &amp; like.. I need something that will handle the low temps for the winter sometimes as low as -20 &amp; the summer get's up to about 105 max temp.<br><br>DRecu!

 

I just use whoever's got [glow=orange, 2, 300]orange[/glow] antifreeze. I like the color. ;D<br>Everybody's got [glow=green, 2, 300]green[/glow].<br>As far as I know, brand doesn't really matter, as long as covers the expected temperature range you'll be running it in.<br><br>Chris

 

I got mine at the Cummins store. Fleetguard. 50/50 mix. No messing with water.

 

I use Fleetguard anti-freeze...I keep it at -35*

 

Rotella also makes a premix for our engines. You really just need to make sure it is silicate free so check the bottles that cuts the choices by half or more.

 

I use Rotella ELC (Extended Life Coolant) pre-mix. It is supposedly good for 600,000 miles with an extender added at 300k.

I 2nd that opinion.

Why mess around with others that might be more harm than good for our engines.
Get the stuff made by Cummins for the Cummins.
(ya, ya, ya, it's more expensive, but so is the engine)

I use the Fleetguard ES Complete (blue in color) in mine. 50/50 pre-mix.

 

Thanks guys! did not know fleetguard had thier own, also would the fleetguard be ok in a Gasoline Engine also?<br><br>DRecu!

 

One thing to watch is that newer gasoline engines are mostly aluminum where the heavier duty engines have more cast iron. Two different coolant types are necessary.
