prevention of cavitation of the cylinder liners
elimination of foaming of the coolant
Test the SCA concentration or submit a coolant sample to your
Caterpillar dealer at every oil change. After every 250 service
hours, liquid SCA or a SCA maintenance element may be
needed. SCA additions are based on the results of coolant
analysis. Your Caterpillar dealer has test kits that will evaluate
the concentration of additives in Caterpillar DEAC.
The following table indicates the amount of Caterpillar SCA
that is needed at the initial fill to treat commercial heavy-duty
coolant/antifreezes. The table also shows the addition of an
SCA for either liquid SCA or for the maintenance elements of a
SCA. These additions are for commercial heavy-duty
coolant/antifreezes and for Caterpillar DEAC.

(1)
Use a Caterpillar SCA when you do not use a Caterpillar Antifreeze. You are not required to use Caterpillar SCA at the initial fill
when you use Caterpillar DEAC.
(2)
Do not exceed the 6 percent maximum concentration. Check with the supplemental coolant additive test kit.
(3)
Element Assem bly.
NOTE:
Due to the individual engine applications, the
maintenance practices need to be periodically
reviewed in order to maintain the cooling system.
