It’s free of silicates, borates, nitrates and phosphates, and does not require routine supplemental coolant additives (SCAs). Shell Rotella ELC is intended for mixed-metal systems and provides protection that manufacturers approve for extended on-road and off-road service lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will Shell Rotella ELC protect my engine’s cooling system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inhibitors in this extended-life coolant are engineered for very long service intervals: up to 600,000 miles for on-road duty or 12,000 operating hours off-road when used as directed.
