FW-16 or DCA4 ?

I went and got a bottle (16 oz.) of Fleetgaurd DCA4 from International. He didn't know about what the FW-16 was. We just figure that is the Ford #. My ? is how much do I use in my system and how often do you add it. I have a 99 SD.

FW-16 or DCA4 ?

You first need to check the concentration with test strips to determine the amount needed. FW-16 andd DCA-4 are the same additive in 2 different packages. 1.5-2.5 units is optimum. With a complete flush you need 4 pints. Too much additive will eat the waterpump seals.
