Picked this up in a package deal but have always been a Prestone fan; 2 unopened 5 gallon buckets of "red" prediluted coolant. Cat approved for all diesel or gas engines. $50/trade for? .223,.308, 22LR, .44 mag, radiator support for a 63 galaxie, whatever! I'm just SE of Mooresville.
Final bump and price drop to $20 then it will be dealt with accordingly.
Cat® ELC™ (Extended Life Coolant)
For all Caterpillar
® and most OEM diesel and gasoline engines
Developed, tested, and approved by Caterpillar,
Cat® Extended Life Coolant lasts at least twice as
long as conventional coolant in Cat machines and
commercial engines and three times as long in Cat
truck engines. It requires no supplemental coolant
additives (SCAs); instead, Cat ELC Extender is
added once, at the time conventional coolants
would otherwise be replaced.
Recommended use
Cat ELC is the coolant used as factory fill
worldwide for all Caterpillar machines. It can be
used in all Cat and most OEM diesel and gasoline
engines.
It exceeds Caterpillar’s EC-1 coolant
performance specification (see page 2). It also
exceeds ASTM D4985 and ASTM D5345
standards for heavy duty, low silicate antifreeze/
coolants and ASTM D3306 and ASTM D4656 for
automotive applications.
Cat ELC Premixed contains 50% ELC and 50%
totally purified water. It is to be used for initial fill
and for top-off. This formula ensures that water
quality does not compromise engine coolant
performance and life. With Cat ELC there is no
concern about hard water scale or the correct
mixture of water and concentrate. Freeze
protection with Cat ELC is to -37°C. Cat ELC
Concentrate is available to further lower the
freeze protection point.
Cat ELC Extender should be added after
6000 hours (500 000 km) of operation, and the
system should be drained and flushed with clean
water after 12 000 hours (1 000 000 km). No
cleaning agents are needed. If Caterpillar’s
S•O•S SM Coolant Analysis Program is used
regularly, safe operation with Cat ELC may
extend beyond 12 000 hours.
With Cat ELC you can inventory one coolant for
your entire fleet. Contact your nearest Cat dealer
for further information concerning coolants and
lubricants.

Full Compatibility
Your entire fleet can benefit from the protection of Cat ELC. It is fully
compatible with all brands of diesel and gasoline engines. After nine years
of extensive testing and commercial experience, there have been no
documented failures of cooling system components, gaskets, seals or hoses
with proper use of Cat ELC.
