Extended Life Coolant
Cat ELC (Extended Life Coolant)
Extended Life Coolant for Caterpillar diesel and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) diesel and gasoline engines*.
Recommended Use
Developed, tested, and approved by Caterpillar, Cat ELC lasts up to six times as long as conventional coolant in Cat machines, commercial engines and Cat truck engines.
Performance
Cat ELC exceeds the Cat EC-1 coolant specification performance requirements. Cat ELC also meets or exceeds the following coolant specifications and guidelines for anti-freeze/coolant: ASTM D6210, ASTM D3306, SAE J1034, TMC RP329, and TMC RP338.
S.O.S Services for early problem detection
Protect your investment with Cat S.O.S Coolant Analysis, the ultimate detection and diagnostic tool for your engines. We recommend S.O.S Level 1 Coolant Analysis according to the engine's Operation and Maintenance Manual, or Level 2 Coolant Analysis annually for all your Cat equipment.
* Follow OEM Recommendations.

Contamination Control Enhances Performance
Contamination control is increasingly important for maximizing performance and service life in fuel systems. Some Cat fuel systems exceed pressures of 30,000 psi in order to deliver more horsepower, better fuel economy and fewer emissions. This necessitates tolerances smaller than five microns between parts. These tolerances and injection pressures make fuel systems more vulnerable to wear and abrasion.
• Injector Nozzles - Contaminants move quickly in high-pressure systems, causing damage, eroding orifices and resulting in incomplete atomization of fuel and over fueling. This harms performance and fuel economy. It also results in hard starts and increased emissions. Larger contaminants can actually clog orifices.
• Injector Plungers and Barrels - Abrasive particles cause wear between an injector's plunger and barrel. Contaminants scuff metal surfaces, causing metal-to-metal contact and eventual injector seizure.
• Control Valves - Contaminants damage valves that control fuel pressures, eroding mating parts of the valves. This excessive wear causes leaks and eventual loss of engine power.
