Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) dumb collant question

[Tractorat]

I know this is a dumb question, but.

I had some work done on my 02 truck about a year ago. They replaced all of the hoses as well as the coolant. The coolant they used was a Fleetguard part number cc2825, which is cummins' diesel rated coolant. They said that coolant was needed for this cummins engine. (BTW, this is a highly rated shop and not a dealer)



Here is my question. I need to top off the coolant bottle just a little. Can I just add green coolant (prestone ?) that I can get from napa or obrians ? Or do I really need to get the cummins cc2825 ?



Thanks

If you already have a good 50/50 mix and only need a quart or so, I would just add some distilled water.

I agree with that. I wouldn't worry about adding coolant with that small amount.
