Coolant Filter Question

[Andyrv6av8r]

I'm about to install a bypass coolant filter on my 923A2. I will be using a Wix 24071 filter with 4 units of DCA. Can I use this filter with standard " Green " antifreeze or should I swap over to the " Red " Fleetguard?

I went with the Fleetguard ES Compleat and the #24071. That's the combo Cummins told me to use. Need to also use the test strips.

I read that thread but didn't see the type of antifreeze that he used.

I have been told that you can add supplemental charge additive ,sca available at napa. Then use test strips. You don't actually have to drain your coolant, just to change it over.

The green coolant works fine as long as the charge is good. Let me know ,as I said, this is what a truck repair shop told me.

If you use the red/orange extended life coolant, you should not use SCAs.

The Fleetguard Es Compleat I have is blue and Cummins said I needed the additional 4 sca filter

I think I read somewhere that PH needs to be 10 or above? Is this correct?
