CAN E99'S RUN ELC?? Or do we have to use...

[7PO1NT3]

What's up gents...

Can early 99's (DOB: 3/98) get away with converting to an HD-ELC type coolant, or are we forever stuck using a conventional type coolant?

I would obviously do a cooling system flush before adding anything different, but I heard someone mention that E99's should not run ELC (do not know the reason) Does it have anything to do with the plastic rad., instead of aluminum rad.?

If I don't hear anything back I am going with the ELC for sure.

Thanks in advance

I don't see why you couldn't... I'm NOT, by any means, an expert on coolant of cooling systems though


Some else will know for sure

You're right...someone else will know for sure, but thanks for the input Duane!

I by no means am an expert either, however after doing a flush and change to ELC I was informed that the ELC is not compatible with the sealant that International used around the injector cups in early 99's. So about $100 later I changed it back to the glycol based. If I recall correctly, a fellow by the name of Gooch did an extensive writeup on this.

The elc shouldn't be used with our seals and some orings.
