ELC preference

Anyone have a preference of which ELC to use and/or which ELC to not use? Thanks in advance for your comments.

My opinion is just a quality brand and check the label for the CAT-1 rating in the specifications. You’ll be good ta go. Having said that I tried to keep the CAT brand coolant in mine but my nearest dealer is a half hour away and they sometimes didn’t have the concentrate, just the pre-mix. My local Tractor Supply keeps a CAT-1 rated coolant on the shelf so I’ve been using that. (don’t recall the brand right this minute and I’m at work).

It's the same in Germany, I always have to pre-order the concentrate.
