Overview – FILTER, COOLANT E5507941
The Cummins FILTER, COOLANT E5507941 is a direct replacement used in Cummins B, C and L series coolant systems, with no modification required at installation.
Parts Characteristics
A spin-on coolant filter with supplemental coolant additive (SCA) media and a threaded steel base. It conditions the coolant and captures contaminants in one service-friendly cartridge.
Applicable Models & Applications
Protects the cooling loop on Cummins 4BT, 6BT and 6CT engines in excavators, pumps and gen-sets. Use the SCA-type cartridge specified for your coolant chemistry.
Maintenance & Replacement
Replace the coolant filter on the coolant service interval, and between changes monitor the supplemental coolant additive (SCA) strength with test strips. Also check the base for weepage and watch the coolant condition on every inspection.
Running extended life without the right additive, or ignoring a low SCA reading, leads to liner pitting and cavitation erosion that is far costlier than the filter itself. Other warning signs are a base leak, coolant contamination, or overheating from a restricted cartridge.
To fit a new one, let the engine cool, then relieve pressure at the radiator cap. Locate the spin-on filter, unscrew the old unit (catch the coolant), and clean the base gasket face. Lightly lube the new gasket, spin the cartridge on by hand until seated, then tighten about three-quarters of a turn or to spec. Refill, test the SCA level, run the engine, and bleed any air.
Match the SCA type to your coolant chemistry – conventional versus OAT formulas are not interchangeable – and never mix types. Keep the right cartridge in stock so the cooling system stays protected without a chemistry mismatch.
