Proper maintenance for your construction equipment’s cooling system goes beyond checking the coolant freeze point a couple of times a year and topping off the tank.
In this episode of The Dirt, we hear from Shelly Eckert, business consultant for Chevron Lubricants, who explains how to properly test and maintain your cooling system – a system responsible for forty percent of engine failures - in this informative interview with host Bryan Furnace.
Cooling systems and coolants have changed a lot since the 90s. Today’s diesel engines have exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems to reduce the amount of nitrous oxide emitted and meet emissions standards. If your coolant becomes contaminated, it can change in viscosity and crack the EGR system.
So to learn more about how to maintain this often overlooked system and protect your engine from serious damage, check out the latest episode of The Dirt.
