Mixed Coolant oops
I have been running Rotella ELC coolant for a couple of years. I just had to replace my thermostat. I was at oriellys and picked up Fleet Charge coolant. Now my truck has 4 gallons of Fleet Charge in it. I didnt realize till tonight it is different. Apparently it has silicate in it...

Whats your suggestion?

I was just reading the spec sheets they are both fully compatible together. Any particular reason why this wouldnt work?

Fleet Charge has SCA, Final Charge which is EC-1 compatible does not.
