THIS IS THE 6.0 FORUM!!! Just wanted to clear that up before anyone posted mistaking it for the IDI forum...it happens!!!
What are your thoughts on mixing coolants in the 6.0 engine?
I understand this is instant death for the EGR and oil coolers as it can cause silicate drop out.
I am mainly concerned with what would happen is a NON silicate coolant is topped up with a SILICATE coolant.
Example being a dump truck loosing coolant (Shell Rotella ELC which is NON SILICATE) and the dealer is dumping RECOCHEM silicate based coolant in on top of it.....upto 6 gallons in a year.
I have spec sheets on BOTH coolants, they BOTH say not to intermix with other brands.
I want your opinions.
