Nalcool and Nalprep! I haven't heard those names since the 90's. Great stuff. Had some engines torn down and the mechanics said my liners were perfect. The stuff must have really worked. I don't remember WHY we had them taken apart though. LOL. I do not understand why they do not offer coolant treatment/filters for current engines, or am I mistaken. JM

Some of the antifreezes have SCA mixed in it. Wix calls their treatment Wix-Cool. John Deere has a coolant treatment also.

i use a product called eco cool aoc1000 by australian organic coolants it has a life of upto 6years/12000hrs and is suitable for all vehicles that dont need freeze protection at a mix rate of 7.5 percent with demineralised or distilled water. it has anti corrosion anti cavitation properties.

they also have a specific diesel coolant aoc 2000which is anti cavitation anti scale anti corrosion anti electrolysis film forming protection for engines with cast iron blocks and cooling systems

"i reject your reality and substitute my own" - adam savage. i suspect my final words maybe "well shit, that didnt work"

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

Do older engines, like in our older D2's, etc. need any of these modern antifreezes or additives? I use regular green Prestone @ 50:50. It seems like the cooling systems on these machines were originally designed to run on anything from pond water to alcohol. Growing up in the 60's, I never heard of anyone using diesel specific antifreezes. If they are better or prevent a problem, I'll use them but I always assumed they were only for the more modern diesels.

Always good to use a rust preventive.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
