Shell Rotella ELC Concentrate 1*55 GAL DRUM

Shell Rotella ELC Extended Life Coolant/ Antifreeze is a "Fill for Life" carboxylate Based Coolant for Heavy Duty Diesel, Gasoline and Natural gas Powered Engines. Shell Rotella ELC Contains Ethylene Glycol and Nitrite and molybdate as secondary Inhibitors. This Product Requires no traditional SCA additions and Contains no silicate, Borate, nitrate or Phosphate. Shell Rotella ELC Extended Life Coolant Meets all the Requirements of CAT EC-1, TMC RP 329 and RP 338.

Performance & Features

• Service life up to 1,000,000 km (600,000 miles) with one extender at mid-life
• No Supplemental Coolant Additives (SCA) required
• Excellent protection against:
  • Cylinder liner pitting
  • Corrosion of cooling system metals
  • Water pump wear
• Improved heat transfer (~8% better than conventional coolants)
• Reduces:
  • Hard water scale
  • “Green goo” / silicate gel formation
• Low dissolved solids → longer seal and pump life

Compatibility

• Compatible with conventional coolants (limited mixing ≤15%)
• Mixing reduces or eliminates extended-life benefits
• Can be used for top-up, but SCA may be required if mixing with non-ELC coolant

Applications

• On-road heavy-duty trucks
• Off-road equipment
• Marine, mining, farm, and construction machinery
• Suitable for mixed fleets (diesel, gasoline, NG engines)
