Good morning everyone. What type of coolant and what strength is everyone using for their Meps? Thanks Bernard

I use Rotella ELC

Premixed or do you mix it 50/50?

Good thread here on coolant ......https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?148379-What-coolant-amp-for-MEP-802a-Precharged-nitrite-type-or-just-green-heavy-duty-type/page2

If you go with Prestone mix 50/50 with distilled water.

I have always flushed with distilled, but refilled with the 'premixed' stuff, so no additional water back into it. Do some research in the forum on the topic though for a few different reviews. Might be like how you hang the toilet paper roll... over the top, or pull from the underside.

I know Rotella has been changing their packaging/bottling over the last year, so let me look at a jug later to make sure I am giving you good info as to what I do (because I am 99% sure what I have is 'premixed' and not concentrated).

The army uses premix, 50/50.

If you like paying almost twice the money, buy premixed. Otherwise, mix fully concentrated antifreeze with 50% water. I use anything that says antifreeze on the bottle. I didn't find any info on cavitation issues with MEP 803/2 series generators, so I don't use SCA charged fluid.
