Caterpillar Extended Life Coolant should be replaced every 6,000 Service Hours or 4 Years, whichever comes first. Only clean water is needed to clean and flush the cooling system when ELC is drained and replaced.Drain
1. Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool. Loosen the coolant filler cap slowly to relieve any pressure, and remove the cap.2. Remove the cooling system drain plug(s) or open the drain valve. Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the water pump housing (if equipped) and/or radiator. Allow the coolant to drain.
Dispose of used engine coolant properly or recycle. Various methods have been proposed to reclaim used coolant for reuse in engine cooling systems. The full distillation procedure is the only method acceptable by Caterpillar to reclaim the used coolant. Contact your Caterpillar dealer for information regarding disposal and recycling of used coolant.

9. Fill the cooling system with ELC. Refer to the refill capacities chart in this manual for the amount of ELC needed to refill your system.10. Start and run the engine with the filler cap removed. Allow the ELC to warm, the thermostat to open, and the coolant level to stabilize. Add ELC if necessary to bring the coolant to the proper level.11. Check the condition of the filler cap gasket. If the gasket is damaged, discard the old filler cap and install a new filler cap. If the gasket is not damaged, use a 9S8140 Service Tool (available from your Caterpillar dealer) to pressure test the filler cap. The correct filler cap pressure is stamped on the face of the filler cap. If the filler cap does not hold the correct pressure, install a new filler cap.12. Start the engine and inspect for coolant leaks and proper operating temperature. Stop the engine.
