Coolant Additives - SCA
Cummins Engine Coolant
Additive:
Fully formulated products contain
SCA and are required to protect the
cooling system from fouling, solder
blooming and general corrosion. The
coolant filter is required to protect the
coolant system from abrasive materials,
debris and precipitated coolant addi-
tives.
Supplement coolant additives, or
equivalent, are used to prevent cylinder
liner pitting, corrosion and scale
deposits in the cooling system. Use the
correct Fleetguard coolant filter to main-
tain the recommended SCA concentration
in the system. Maintain the correct con-
centration by changing the service filter
at each oil drain interval.
NOTE:
The correct filter is determined by the total cooling system capacity and oil drain
interval. Refer to the Coolant Capacity Specifications in this section.
CAUTION:
Insufficient concentration of the coolant additives will result in cylinder liner pit-
ting and engine failure. The SCA concentration must not fall below 1.2 units or
exceed 3 units per gallon of cooling system capacity.
Use the correct Fleetguard coolant filter to maintain the recommended SCA concentration in the
system. Maintain the correct concentration by changing the service coolant filter at each oil drain inter-
val. The oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, warning lamps and other safety lamps should be checked
daily to ensure proper operations.
NOTE:
Refer to the OEM engine manual for maintenance instructions. Engine coolant
must be changed every two years. The correct filter is determined by the total cool-
ing system capacity. Refer to the Cummins manual for additional information.
