About 2 years ago, I switched my C12 Cat to Rotella pink ELC. Chemically flushed, etc. I replaced the coolant filter with one without SCA's. How often or after how many miles does anyone who knows think that this filter should be replaced running ELC?

CAT has reasonably priced chemical test strips with instructions.

Richard, hi. Once a year should do it. That's been my routine for 8 years.

I feel a little silly asking this but do all of our coaches have Coolant Filters???
Looking in the rear and around the reservoir of coolant, I see nothing that would
indicate a filter for the coolant..

Just last year i had some coolant lines replaced and nothing was said or asked about
changing a filter.

Richard I am running the same coolant and filter. I change it every year with chassis maintenance.

Dave, hard to say as I have a different model. Have you consulted your owners manual? In my coach, if you open the 2 rear doors and look straight down you see my coolant filter.

Dave:

You do not have a coolant filter, unless someone has added an after market filter..

Coolant filters have mile life info sheet inside box...if you purchased a NAPA or Wix. Coolant Filter manufactures make blank cartridge cans along with actual filters inside can.
Which did you install ? Check your part number.

2 years sounds about right

Fleetguard wf2077. I cannot find any lifetime data on it. This is a no SCA filter.

Think it depends on the engine Cummin's I know always have filters. My 94 CC Conversion with the Driptroit two stroke does not!!
