Make sure you get the CAT ELC concentrate, 4 gallons. Then get a gallon of the pre-mix (50-50) for top offs down the road. You won't have to go back then for several years. Good luck!

For clarification, CAT does not refer to the specific brand, but a certification. The ELC should say CAT on it.

It's time consuming, but very easy.

Once word of caution, do NOT tighten the plastic drain valve (pet ****) on the rad with a tool. If you do, you will break the hex part of the plastic off.

Why are you insisting on only CAT?

There are many brands out there he can get, besides, he specifically asked about Delo.

Thats why I said what I said. I think he is saying use CAT EC-1, not CAT brand.

I thik this because insisting on only CAT brand is silly.

That's what I thought at first too, until he "corrected" you and posted the pic of the CAT ELC, basically saying you misunderstood him, and that he indeed meant what he posted, not what we thought he meant.
