M11 ELC antifreeze

[Art Twaddell]

I'm not a trucker but we are motor-homers and I have a 1996 Foretravel with a M11 400 HP and just recently flushed out the old green antifreeze and removed t-stat and did 4 fills and flushes with distilled water before I filled up with Delo ELC complete red antifreeze and I installed a blank filter with no additives. Is this OK to do ? There is not much info out there on this subject espically with an older M11 engine.

I don't have one but thought it'd be fun to look it up. As long as it's fully formulated, which it sounds like, you don't need to add additives e.g. filter package until the first filter change. And no shop I know of would do 4 flushes much less distilled water so I think you're good

Here's a link to the service bulletin circa 2002 for all makes, all models Cummins heavy truck
