Shell Rotella ELC 50/50 Extended Life Coolant/Anti-Freeze is a “fill for life” ethylene glycol based coolant for heavy- duty diesel, gasoline and natural gas powered engines. Shell Rotella ELC 50/50 contains a unique extended life carboxylate inhibitor system and nitrite / molybdate as secondary Shell Rotella ELC 50/50 meets all the requirements of CAT EC-1, TMC RP 329 and RP 338.
Benefits:
- Minimum coolant life of 600,000 miles.
- Improved water pump seal life due to low dissolved solid levels.
- Excellent pitting protection for wet sleeve cylinder liners
- Excellent long term corrosion protection of all cooling system metals including alumi
Areas of Consideration:
None Specified
Applications:
The inhibitors in ROTELLA ELC 50/50, due to their special chemistry, are designed to go 600,000 miles on-road or 12,000 hours off-road with only one Shell Rotella ELC Extender addition at 300,000 miles or 6,000 hours. After 600,000 miles or 12,000 hours it is recommended that the coolant be tested for continued use. Shell Rotella ELC’s patented inhibitors, while providing complete cooling system component protection, also help reduce water pump failures, hard water scale deposits, silicate “green goo” and improve heat transfer. Tests with ROTELLA ELC show that heat transfer is about 8% better with RELC than with conventional heavy duty, silicate- containing coolants.
