NAPA usually has the rotella elc on hand

 

they took it out of their Catalog

 

that makes me wonder, are the different brands of ELC coolants compatible with each other?

I have two gallons of Rotella ELC, sure would like to use them

 

Not trying to say what they told you isn't right. But, my local (PA) store has it, and online website shows it can be ordered online and be available the next day at the napa location you mentioned above. Again, I am just trying to help. https://www.napaonline.com/en/search?text=rotella elc&referer=v2

 

EDIT--- Holy Cow, those folks in Dawsonville are Super Nice Guys.
he said he does not stock it, but will order me six gallons and hold it for me, he said no one has ever asked for it, so it will be there when I arrive.



Okay,
I will wait until I arrive in Dawsonville, GA in 10 days, we plan a 1 to 3 month visit with my son,
it has been over 3 years since we have seen each other.

( he has a separate apartment over his unattached 3 car garage, oh so nice for me and him )

IF, Amazon does not follow through, ( I sent it to his address )
---- cancelled AMAZON order
and use the NAPA online purchase to send it to his local NAPA store.

 

I will throw in here also...
Do not use ELC in early or older 7.3's unless the cups have been replaced. They are not compatible, the sealer that is.
For those that did not know.

but it is okay for my '02 PS then?

 

Any 7.3 older than a early 99 is good with ELC. That implies you are good.

 

*newer

 

older... Newer.... past.... present.. well, deep hole.

Newer than an early 99.... My brain might need more coffee.

 

I have been accused of having Swiss Cheese for brain cells

 

You can find it at Napa, if you dont see it ask. It may be in the back. (Concentrate)

the local NAPA in Claremore, Oklahoma says it does not exist in their Catalog anymore.

I called the NAPA store in Dawsonville, Georgia where my son lives, and they told me they would order up two cases and have it waiting for me when I arrive there next week.

can't beat that with a stick

 

Good job John, when those Amsoil guys show up (either side) things go off the rails. On the same note, thanks for keeping my day boring from following the internet arguments lol.

 

I would add that rotella issue for pree 99 isn't just for the cup sealant its also for silicone based seals in the Engine and head it eats at them. The way I figure its best avoid since most of the new head gaskets replacements now are silicone, can find rubber but at least for me not with harness. Just food for thought.

 

99.5 - 03 have an IAT .... IAH....on the left side of the intake spyder and both hot and cold are the same size without taper...

See Photo

 

I think Jimmy meant IAH....its a heater not a temp sensor

 

Maaaaaybe... no coffee today and it shows.
Lack of proof reading and such.

 

It's definitely a Monday for sure
