I recently flushed and filled with the Final Charge ELC stuff. It is supposed to be good for 600,000 miles, just like the ELC that came with in the truck. Yeah, the earlier types of coolants required additional SCA's over their life, but the new stuff doesn't. It is not 2eha but is OAT. It handles cavitation on cylinder linings better and has a better heat transfer.
I think Detroit Diesel PowerCool Plus is the same as Old World Final Charge. So, a DD dealer is another source for Final Charge. I am using PowerCool Plus in a MBE906 engine.
I believe you are correct. I know that Fleetguard, Cat, Mack, etc all have a similar product. Delo has this ELC as well. Everyone is putting it in bottles. It is all the same stuff, and darn good stuff at that. Just a matter of finding who is offering it at the best price. The unfortunate thing in all this is that most auto parts outlets, farm stores, etc do not carry the ELC stuff, only the former SCA precharged coolant (at least this is the case for central Iowa). Anyone, at this point in time, almost has to go to a commercial truck dealership or truck stop to find the stuff.
