I ordered some of the RMI-25 Cooling System Treatment from DieselSite. The instructions say that 8oz treats 5 gallons.

Anyone know what the coolant capacity is for our trucks?

 

My power stroke owner's manual says 32.75 quarts.. wow..!

 

Yep, 8 GALLONS pretty much, so you'd need 2 of those bottles IF you have no treatment/SCAs in it already, or were doing a complete flush. But if doing a complete flush, you might as well convert to the "Kool Aid" such as Rotella ELC and not have to worry about SCAs

 

So 8 gallons then.

Cool. Thanks, Clint!

 

32 AND THREE QUARTER quarts almost 33.That,s what my 03 takes. I,m changing mine soon .

 

What is the best way to check the "SCA's". Test strips? Where can these be purchased? How is it done?

 

Powerstrokeshop.com sells packs of four for about $8. I can only find packs of 32 at stores locally, and since they have a shelf life tha's a few to many...

Basically drain a little A/F out of the rad, dip the strip and compare colors of 3 test pads to a chart.

 

Thanks!

Trying to find them on their site but it's aggravating.

 

I know what you mean.

Give this a try-

Powerstrokeshop.com

 

Looks like it nuked most of the link...? Go to the sight and search the "Custom Catalog" for SCA.

 

Perfect, thanks!

 

got my test strips( 4 )from genos garage $ 5.95

 

yea scott i just got my bottle today from dieselsite and just dumped the 8oz in the coolant

 

Scott, does your '02 have Gold coolant in it (mine does)?? If so, you don't need SCAs or the test strips. You can check your pH if you want, but that's about it on the gold stuff. I'd even make sure it was okay to use that DieselSite stuff in the Hybrid-OAT coolant, just to be on the safe side.

 

What does the cooling system treatment do?
